Good point, right now the code is purely in the CMF, but it can be  
moved. I'll create the 1.2 branch right now and then move the  
GSLocalAddons bits into GenericSetup trunk, and change DEPENDENCIES.txt.

Looking at the calls that are being done to make it into a Zope 3  
site it seems a complicated affair to hardcode that stuff in at class  
level so that it will be picked up for older installations. Do you  
have any specific ideas about that? Otherwise it is easy to at least  
move the code from importVarious into a handler for ISiteRoot/ 
IObjectAddedEvent.
