[Zope] Upgrade of Zope from 2.3.2 to 2.4

[Jens Vagelpohl]

the "Ambiguous name" error message has been discussed several times (--> 
see mailing list archives), you should contact the maintainers of the 
Etailer software package to update their software. just to recap, many 
products contain code like this:

     manage = manage_main = DTMLFile('dtml/xyz.dtml', globals())

under 2.4 this will produce an error message like...

2001-08-31T08:56:18 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of
Products.XYZ.Product.Product: "manage_main" != "manage"

the very simple workaround is to add the following line:

     manage_main._setName( 'manage_main' )

*but*... the _setName method is only available in zope 2.4 and higher and 
will cause an AttributeError in prior versions. to make the product 
backwards compatible i suggest wrapping this call in a try/except, like so:

     try:
         manage_main._setName( 'manage_main' )
     except AttributeError:
         pass

the second problem (python scripts need to be recompiled) has also been 
discussed before. right now there is no satisfactory workaround to 
visiting each one in the ZMI and hitting the "Edit" button.
