[Zope] Creating a Folderish class in Python Product

[Shalabh Chaturvedi]

Well whaddya know! Just discovered I was using ObjectManger without importing
the module OFS.ObjectManger. Silly me!

(Wonder why it didn't throw up an error, though.)

Now things are a bit better. Objects do get added under my ProjectFolder (I
know because the oMyFolder._objects has a list of them).
But still the objectxxx() methods return empty tuples - so nothing shows up in
the contents tab. Am working on that now.
