[Zope] Orphan Object IDs

[Stefan H. Holek]

Chris!

Please make sure you follow the RFP installation instructions closely.

In the Zope management interface, navigate to Control_Panel/Products.

You will see a ZRFP product; delete it! Zope automatically "installs" an 
empty and quite useless ZRFP when it notices the lib/python/Products/ZRFP 
direcory when it starts up. We need to import a "zexp" file with the same 
id, and Zope won't let us-- you have to delete the empty one first.

You can tell it's an "empty" ZRFP if it has nothing but a Help folder in 
it. Click on it to see what it contains.
