   I think megrok.z3cform would be nice,

   So here like five.grok, we could make a five.grok.z3cform, if
setuptools let us do so.

   My experiences on plone.z3cform works quite well, so I could split
it to these two packages, if you want. I don't have that much of code
to make it working, but after I think we should implements some forms
and see how we want them to be implemented.

   As well, we can reuse some utilities from grokcore.formlib, for
instance when you to add automatically the attribute field on your form
(like for form_fields in formlib), so do we want to have a dependency
of megrok.z3cform to grokcore.formlib, or factor that out again ?
(I think that's strange to have one support for a form library relying
on the code of one other, people will use only one of them).

   As well, I would like to fix five.grok, add the missing dependency,
and add a simple formlib support it, I don't think here I need to make
a separate package for it (since formlib is in grokcore for grok
itself).

   Sylvain,
