Hmm... I just took another look at ActionsTool and decided that maybe
you're on to something after all.  I should not be so quick to dismiss
ideas.  ActionsTool would not go away but would use a script to generate
actions.  Community, what would you prefer: editing a short script or
filling in properties?  The script idea is more flexible but requires more
knowledge by the portal manager.
