Have you guys looked at topp.zwsgi?  It's a little like what you are 
doing.  One of the pieces is the ability to put a WSGI application 
inside Zope, with access to the Zope objects.  Basically the 
configuration parameters are put into the ZODB, and then the actually 
application is instantiated lazily, and the request is handed off.

I don't entirely stand by the code, but it's something that might help 
here.  The code is here: 
https://svn.openplans.org/svn/topp.zwsgi/trunk/topp/zwsgi/zpaste.py

I think it relies on some other stuff too, like the topp.zwsgi.wsgi 
module.  We're not really doing anything with topp.zwsgi at this point, 
but it might be helpful in repoze.
