It might be easier to switch to the new kid, instead of trying to make
the highly integrated zope.pagetemplate work for you.


Its already been working since very early 2009 so it's more about being able to setup buildout etc..... rather than hand crafting everything.

At least Zope2 depends on this engine, so moving the engine out into a
zope.app.* package is not an option, it would have to be some new
