[Zope] Lets try this again - auto-creation

[Alexander Staubo]

You can store a "last ID" counter as an int property on the top-level
folder, and increment that for every object you create.

Under Zope2 the counter must be thread-safe, which means you've got to
borrow of Zope's global -- I think -- thread locks.
