In the "works for me" category comes: it works for me.  I just updated
CMF/CMFTopic/Topic.py reflecting an experimental return of
'registerPortalContent' that I had in earlier this evening.

After creating a fresh CMF Site instance, it still showed up in the Factory
Types information.  I don't have any setups around at the moment based off
of the old PTK Packages (PTKBase/PTKDemo), so I don't know the effects of
mixing types from the two systems.  If you don't have the new CMF setup
installed, CMFTopic shouldn't even load since it's entirely dependant on the
new packaging.
