[Zope] Customizing management screens for different users/roles

[Ross J. Reedstrom]

What???? I just spent three days writing the equivalent of part of
this. Can't seem to stay ahead of you guys at DC ;-)(well, it was good

all need that 1.X to 2.0 ORB update tool sooner rather than later,
you realize.

Thanks for all the cool stuff,

Ross
