I don't want to make life harder for anyone than necessary, but I
*really* don't want to encourage anyone to consider CMFSetup "optional"
for 1.5-derived stuff;  the kind of effect Stefan reported is *exactly*
why I want to make the setup stuff declarative, rather than procedural.

 We can revert the PortalGenerator part of that change, if needed, but
it should have a *huge* DeprecationWarning associated with it (the whole
module, I mean).

Right:  any product which expects to configure a "site" should ship with
one or more "base" profiles;  any product which offers optional features
should ship one or more "extension" profiles.
