Public bug reported:

ConfigSchema.__init__() takes a filename argument.  This can cause
problems if your schema file lives inside an egg.  You'd like to use
pkg_resource.resource_string() to get the schema as a string, but this
can't be passed to ConfigSchema's constructor.  Okay, you can use
pkg_resource.resource_filename(), but that creates a cache file, which
is kind of ugly.

ConfigSchema's constructor should accept a filename or file-like object.
