A DTML Method in the Catalog to find all objects with the boolean
property 'property' that are true:

<!--#in searchResults(property='on')-->
  <!--#var id-->
<!--#/in-->

This is because HTML checkboxes, which are typicly represent boolean
properties, are controlled with the strings 'on' and 'off'.

Yes I know that this is slightly lame because both strings evaluate to
true in Python, but that's the way it's allways been.
