CatalogAwareness and DataSkings don't work together. However, I wrote and
stevea maintains a replacement, for DataSkins, thats better than
CatalogAwareness - it automatically recatalogs when the object changes - no
more reindex_object() calls. The product is DataSkinAddons.

Older version of ZPatterns didn't support subtransactions - newest version
does, so it should work fine with ZCatalog.
