I think the trick would be to write code for Zope 3 and put it in a top-level package, like "textindexng". Inside this package you add a package "TextIndexNG" that is expected to be added to Zope 2's lib/python/Products.
Seems reasonable. But my gut reaction is to have this type of cvs/svn layout:
TextIndexNG/ TextIndexNG/setup.py # distutils stuff TextIndexNG/TextIndexNG # for Zope2 TextIndexNG/src TextIndexNG/src/textindexng
That way you just check it out and tar it for distrubution.
You install it for zope3 with "python setup.py". setup.py will be constructed to completely ignores everything in TextIndexNG/TextIndexNG.
You install it for Zope2 by copying TextIndexNG/TextIndexNG to Products and running distutils again.
If src/textindexng is all python and no C or other funny business you could actually copy it to Products/TextIndexNG/ as well. If that is the case, as Zope2 distribution with that layout could be provided as well.
Well, actually, if there's no reason to have something in Products/TextIndexNG, then you don't actually need anything in the good ol' Products directory. In other words, if TNG3 contains no Zope 2-specific code and Products/TextIndexNG would just be a facade anyway, it really only needs to be a top-level package.
You can load top-level packages through Zope3-style package-includes ZCML slugs in Five, too. You simply need to copy Five/skel/* to your $INSTANCE/etc directory...
