Or you could do what we have done: write a Windows registry like
product (for some reason ours is called eDitoRegistry) that offers an
hierarchical structure that is saved outside the ZODB (for the usual
reasons) in one or more XML files. You can "mount" these XML files
containing (sub)trees at a chosen point in the tree. Somehow
like the Unix file system.
