[Zope-CMF] cmfstaging

[Dan Axline]

I had a bit of trouble getting the repository-aware workflow to not 
choke.  There were a few things that were not explicit in the post below 
that took me a little bit to figure out:

The CMFStaging tools (portal_versions, portal_workflow, portal_lock, and 
portal_staging) are created through the ZMI by adding a "CMFStaging 
Tool".  Be sure to delete the default portal_workflow tool before trying 
to add the CMFStaging portal_workflow tool.

Also, add a "Repository" with id "VersionRepository" through the ZMI.
Also, add a "Workflow Repository" with id "workflow_repository" through 
the ZMI.

Also, you may need to add the "tidy" and "staging" skins to the top of 
your skin path rather than the bottom.
