[Zope-CMF] Portal type = None

[Chris McDonough]

Evidently CMF 1.2 used to automatically set an object's portal_type
to its meta_type if it didn't exist.  This no longer happens in 1.3.
So you need to explicitly declare a portal_type on these objects.
The simplest way to do this is "portal_type = meta_type = 'Type'"
