It does in theory.  WorkflowTool.getCatalogVariablesFor() calls
self.getWorkflowsFor() which calls getDefaultChainFor(), if necessary...
then WorkflowTool.getCatalogVariablesFor() calls
wf.getCatalogVariablesFor() for each workflow in the chain.  There may
be something wrong with the implementation, however.
