If we go ahead and break each product out into its own egg, we can
create one or more "meta eggs" which stitch them back together.  E.g.,
the meta egg could have:

  install_requires=['Products.GenericSetup',
                    'Products.CMFCore'
                    'Products.CMFDefault',
                    'Products.CMFTopic',
                    'Products.DWorkflow',
                   ],
  extras_require={'uid': ['Products.CMFUid'],
                  'calendar': ['Products.CMFCalendar'],
                  'actionicons': ['Products.CMFActionIcons'],
                  'kitchensink': ['Products.CMFUid',
                                  'Products.CMFCalendar',
                                  'Products.CMFActionIcons',
                                 ],
                  }


People who want the traditional "all-in-one" could then depend on or
easy_install 'CMF[kitchensink]'.
