[Zope-CMF] second portal catalog, for published items only

[Troy Farrell]

Why would you do this?  I haven't thought about it for very long, but it 
seems some what silly.  portal_catalog keeps things from those who 
shouldn't see them based on permissions (usually set by workflow.)  Is 
there different reason for wanting a second catalog?
