Actually, the attached branch allows you to pass a file-like object to
the ConfigSchema constructor.  This will solve the problem by allowing
you to pass in a StringIO wrapper around pkg_resource.resource_string().

Bug description:
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.
