It is scheduled to be in 1.4;  I have done a good bit of the work to
land it today:

  - Merged the branch and fixed up all conflicts;  all tests pass.

  - Updated all the 'factory_type_information' structures to make the
    'action' key a TALES expression (e.g., "document_view" ->
    "string:document_view").

Remaining TODOs:

  - Write an external method for converting existing type info objects
    (they all have dictionaries, instead of ActionInformation objects,
    stored in the ZODB).

  - Test it.

I am going to land this on a new branch against today's head, if anybody
would like to help test:

  $ cvs -q up -AdP  # get to the head;  make sure no local edits!
  $ cvs -q up -r tseaver-ti_apb_redux-branch  # use the branch

Anyone game to play?  I have build and lightly tested a new CMFSite with
this code, but am certain that sites built previously die horribly. 
Perhaps somebody can come up with a patch which avoids the necessity of
running a conversion script?

Tres.
