[ZPT] Default POST type

[Sim Harbert]

Sorry, but I guess I am not enough of a Zope/Python guru to figure this out
myself.  What exactly do I need in the 'PUT_factory' function to get it to
create a Page Template instead of a DTML object?  I may get this if I keep
plugging away, but it isn't obvious to me yet.
