Shane patched the PTK LoginManager to fix a bug that prevented adding the LM
to objects other than the root. Once this patch makes it in to the official
LM distribution, I agree that LM shouldn't really be in the PTK CVS.
(Unless, of course, Ty wants to put it there and make that authoritative...)

I *do* think it would be nice to make a package so that people can download
and install Zope, then download and untar the PTK package and be all set.
That should be easy to do.

Yep.

I never got my CVS access working :(

I should qualify this by stating that the "easy to install snapshot" would
still not be intended for use in a real environment (any more than
Membership is now). It's more because there is a lot of curiousity around
PTK, but getting PTK installed right now is a pain, even for people who have
CVS running.

I haven't cataloged Membership, and I wouldn't catalog this thing either...
