I just relicensed and moved plone.z3cform to the Zope repository:

  http://svn.zope.org/plone.z3cform/trunk/

Despite the "plone" namespace, it works fine in CMF and pure Zope 2.
*Some* of the functionality (modules) is Plone or CMF specific.  The
default configure.zcml aims to be usable without Plone or CMF.

There's a buildout.cfg in there that pulls Plone.  I'd like to replace
it with a Zope2-only one (and maybe move the existing buildout to
another location).  The tests work without Plone.
