[Zope-CMF] Installation script

Hi

I'm afraid that I'm absolutely clueless about what you mean ;-)

What I'm doing now is something like:

if 'article' not in skinstool.objectIds():
    createDirectoryView(skinstool, 'skins/article', article_globals)
    out.write("Added 'article' directory view to portal_skins\n")

---snip------------------------
skins = skinstool.getSkinSelections()
for skin in skins:
    path = skinstool.getSkinPath(skin)
    path = map(string.strip, string.split(path,','))
    if 'article' not in path:
        try: path.insert(path.index('content'), 'article')
        except ValueError:
            path.append('article')

        path = string.join(path, ', ')
        skinstool.addSkinSelection(skin, path)
        out.write("Added 'article' to %s skin\n" % skin)
    else:
        out.write("Skipping %s skin, 'article' is already set up\n" % (
            skin))
return out.getvalue()
---snap------------------------

This works fine if I only had to add e.g. dtml skins. When I also want to add 
zptskins I cant find out which skinpaths to add them to
