Okay, I'm building off CMFTopic.  For ease and simplicity right now I've
forked with the intent of merging/subclassing once I semi-understand
what I'm doing.  So I duplicated the CMFTopic tree into CalTopic and did
the following edits:

  s/CMFTopic/CalTopic/
  s/Topic/CalTopic/
  s/CalCalTopic/CalTopc/  # doh!
  s/topic/caltopic/

And renamed all the directories and filenames to match.

Zope loads the new product fine, I added it to portal_types, and
portal_skins etc without error and CalTopic doesn't show up in on user's
"New" object list.

Got any idea why?
