[Grok-dev] The z3c.widget is broken

This also effects megrok.form as it pulls in z3c.widget.

So both of these how-tos lead you to this error:
http://grok.zope.org/documentation/how-to/automatic-form-generation/
http://grok.zope.org/documentation/how-to/make-use-of-add-ons-via-eggs/

Some questions:
Why doesn't buildout find z3c.javascript?

Is "autoforms" something people really use, or does everyone create their own custom form templates?  

I tried geoHUZ's work-around, but the z3c.javascript package builds on it's own but not inside my grokproject app.

Maybe there should be an "everything in every how-to" tar file so that the documentation keeps working.  (I know it's not that easy, I'm just frustrated.)

I wanted to throw together a quick demo application for someone and I thought "autoforms" would be a time-saver.  Now I spent more time trying to make them work than I would have creating them by hand.
