I believe I fixed those.

This can possibly be taken from the CMFPlone migration code which does
that. See the registerToolsAsUtilities method in
http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/CMFPlone/trunk/migrations/v3_0/alphas.py
I have never used a non-Plone CMF site so I'm probably not the best
person to write migration code for CMF. I do need to get Plone 3.0-rc1
out Real Soon (as in yesterday, but this week at the very latest) so I
can look into this if that will make sure a CMF 2.1 release will happen.

That's the seperate thread :)
