A quick look seems that there are a few common uses of acquisition in
the tools: to get to the portal via tool.aq_inner.aq_parent, to get
to the REQUEST object via self.REQUEST and use of absolute_URL. Some
tools (URLTool, UndoTool) are already free of acquisition-use.

This suggests that it should be quite doable to do a CMF 2.2 where tools
can be proper acquisition-free utilities.
