[Zope-CMF] GenericSetup "rolemap" importer does not register new permissions

	Hello,

   I am trying to use GenericSetup to define permissions/roles mappings 
for a product. As far as I can see, the current version of GenericSetup 
does not register the permission if it does not exist. It supposes that 
the permission exists and calls 'manage_permission()'. Naturally, it 
breaks with new (unregistered) permissions.

   All I need to do is to register this new permission, e.g. with 
'CMFCore.permissions.setDefaultRoles()'. Is there any reason why this is 
not done by the 'rolemap' importer? If not, I would be willing to 
propose a patch.

   (I am not totally sure that this is the right place to ask about 
GenericSetup. If it is not, feel free to redirect me to the proper 
mailing-list.)

	Regards,
