As i found out the ZTK 1.0 is a KGS. I changed Grok to include the ZTK
1.0 versions (this is changing 82 out of 113 package releases).

Buildout succeeded immediately. I had to change a single package
(grokcore.view) and 5 tests to make all tests run. The grokwiki sample
app starts and works. Python2.6 is supported too.

I am very surprised this worked at all and that easy.

I now need to test the setup against real applications written for Grok
1.0. Please let me know if there are any so far.

I proposed to make Grok 1.1 implement the changes
