Actually DirectoryView has a better way: when you create your filesystem
product, add to its __init__.py the following statements:

from Products.PTKBase.DirectoryView import registerDirectory
registerDirectory('skins', globals())

Then create a "skins" directory in your product.  All of the directories
in your skins folder will be available as directory views.

We specifically avoided making it a property because of portability and
security concerns.
