[Grok-dev] ztk.cfg and zopeapp.cfg for Grok (zope.app free Grok)

[Souheil CHELFOUH]

I went back on the track to get grokui.admin get out for 1.1
I already removed all the zope.app from there.
There are, in some packages I released, some zope.app.zcmlfiles
ugliness I need to kick out :)

Globally, i'm willing to help on that transition as much as possible.
If there are any defined tasks, I'll gladly do it.

Meanwhile, as grokui.admin globally works as it is now, i'll try to
push the introspector back in now

> Grok 1.2: Second transitional release. No more dependencies on
> zope.app.* packages. We do offer zopeapp.cfg as transition support to

> Grok 1.3: Grok without any zopeapp support. User who want to upgrade
