[ZPT] Varying templates based on location

[Michael Long]

The structure I outlined previously was rather simplistic as far as all 
of the slots that are actually defined in my site. The reasoning behind 
this method is that I can create the structure of the site in a set of 
files located in the root directory and then replace the contents of 
individual pieces the page based upon the users location in the site. 
It has simplified things immensely since my folders contain data that is 
relevant to that folder only. I am still new to the zope game and am 
going to be venturing into some heavy scripting (Python and SQL) next. 
This may lead me to another approach :).
