[Zope] CatalogAware when there's no 'Catalog'

[Zopista]

Yes, catalog aware looks for an object called Catalog. No choice there
(unless you hack Zope).

Unless you are looking at huge numbers (say 10,000+) you shouldnt notice
much perfomance difference by using catalog, so if it makes your life easier
just use one.
