[Zope-CMF] Making variations of the Document portal type

Hello,

I want to make some "cookie cutter" portal types, based on the 
"document" portal type, that will allow me to add a few extra 
properties and have slightly different skins from the main template.

Can I just duplicate the document portal_type (from the ZMI) and also 
the duplicate Products/CMFDefault/Document.py and modifying it to my 
needs.  I know it's not really the kosher thing to do, but creating a 
full-blown product seems a little daunting at this point.

I am using Zope 2.5.1 (soon 2.6), CMF 1.3, and Plone 1.0 beta 3.

Any pointers would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Michael LaPera
