1.) Please subscribe to the CMF-checkins list. This way your checkins 
will show up in that list and additional eyes can see them.

2.) Please set svn:keywords Id on new python files. If you copy files 
from an other branch, it's better to use svn copy. That preserves the 
history and svn properties.

3.) I'm a bit surprised how much of the TypesTool changes you ported 
back. And that PortalGenerator is gone. Those changes potentially break 
products that work with CMF 1.5.

4.) At least CMF 2.0 TypesTool and ActionsTool have modifications that 
make it impossible to use the CMF 2.0 handlers for CMF 1.5 code. I guess 
you have to modify CMFSetup and use some CMF 1.5 handlers to get 
everything working.
