Let's get this discussion back from generic pie-in-the-sky to the  
simple situation where we just need this one package integrated into  
CMF 2.1, and quickly.

Wichert wants a Plone 3 beta very very soon, there is no time to  
switch the CMF to any other packaging/buildout mechanism before that.  
What happens on the trunk after the 2.1 branch is cut, I don't care.  
I do care about getting the 2.1 beta out quickly. All that's missing  
is merging the tool/utility stuff, which depends on having this new  
component registry.

Taking this into account, how should the five.localsitemanager thing  
be packaged?
