Yes. The class hierarchy is wired. I'm not sure if it is still necessary 
to inherit PortalFolderBase from CMFCatalogAware.

No. By default folders are not content, just structure. SkinnedFolder 
does what you want. If you use CMF trunk, your code will not be 
sufficient. handleContentishEvent is registered for IContentish objects, 
not for default folders.
