[Zope-PTK] CMFTopic updates

[Jeffrey P Shell]

CMFTopic has gone through a massive update to be CMF 1.0 savvy.  This
includes being properly skinnable and TypesTool aware.

To enable CMFTopic in existing CMF sites, you need to follow the following
steps in the Zope Management Interface (this will be up on the Dogbowl too,
and hopefully in the documentation for the beta):

 1. In portal_types, add a new 'Factory-Based Type Information' object.
    In the drop down list there should be 'CMFTopic: Topic'.  Select
    this and click 'Add' after giving it the id of 'Topic'.

 2. In 'portal_skins', add a new "FileSystem Directory View' object.
    Select 'Products/CMFTopic/skins/topic' and give it an id of 'topic'.

 3. In the 'portal_skins' Properties view, on each skin setting, add
    in 'topic', preferably somewhere between 'custom' and 'content'.

Topic should then show up on the "Add content" screen.

Improved (onscreen and off) documentation on how to use topics is coming.
