[Zope] ZCatalog and SiteRoot, best solution

[Petter Enholm]

I am answering my self here as I found the solution - and ... I also see
that this msg should have been posted to Zope-dev. Anyway, here goes:

Developing Products dependant upon both SiteRoot and ZCatalog requires that
you use Products.ZCatalog.CatalogPathAwareness as mix-in class and not
CatalogAwareness. CatalogPathAwareness will always give you the absolute
path to an object, not a relative one adjusted for the site root.

Best regards
Petter Enholm
