Well, technically it's not in ZCML, but you can set up the local
utility programmatically by registering a subscriber for some event
(IDataBaseOpenedEvent or IObjectAddedEvent for your content object).
You can find examples of how this is done in
zope.app.appsetup.bootstrap.  Various things like session utilities
and error reporting utilities are created this way.

In SchoolTool there's a separate set of local utility utility
functions :-), see here:
