the CMFDecor product provides the basic ZPT-based skin. since ZPT is the 
"way of the future" (CMF 1.2 will "swallow up" CMFDecor and have ZPT-based 
skins as default) there won't be a DTML-based skin for the CMF Collector.

you're absolutely correct. this has bothered me as well. i just changed it 
so that the script  module is now "Install.py" and the function in it is 
"install".
