Hmm...looks like this isn't going to work for me:

"Note also that so far this solution only works for ZClasses located
at 1st level in a product, eg. MyProduct/MyZClass. It doesn't work for
ZClasses nested in another ZClass. (If you know a workaround, please
let me know.)"

All my content classes are second-level or deeper. :-(

So that said, would it be possible to reimplement the changes in
BetterCatalogAware as a Hotfix or patch?  (I still haven't delved much
into Zope internals, so I don't know exactly what's involved with
that).

Or are these changes something I could implement in my ZClasses
themselves?  I'm getting bitten in particular by the virtual hosting
weirdness, which I didn't notice at first since I didn't start using
virtual hosting until most of the site was completed. :-\
