[Zope-CMF] Limit publishable content types

[Michael Havard]

I found a way to do this, although it's wasn't readily apparent to me.
If you go into the portal_types folder and then click on a portal type and 
look at security and set the "View" access for the particular roles. This 
can remove the item from the folder_factories output. Effectively disabling 
the user from being able to add that content type.

It's not as ideal as I would like (having a centralized place to change 
this) but it functions.

Good luck in your endeavour.
