zope.app.exception depends on zope.formlib's namedtemplate mechanism.
zope.formlib has many many dependencies but only this special function  
of it is used by zope.app.exception. It's needed to render  
customizable the unauthorized views.
So I replaced zope.formlib by the much more lightweight z3c.template.

This (move the ISystemErrorView) seems to be the right solution to get  
rid of the zope.app.publication dependency on zope.app.exception.
In a project of mine I need zope.app.exception independently of this  
dependency but I do not want to depend on zope.formlib for a little  
feature of it which can be done by another smaller package.
