[Stephan Richter]

Hi all,

to answer my own post and tell you what the status is, here another mail.

The zope.dependencytool package is not packaged with Zope X3.0, so that I
could not add the script. We might want to consider to add this tool though.

I was able to add all three of these scripts, once I made the
zope/app/locales/extract.py module a flexible enough to accept a path for the
'site.zcml' file as argument to zcml_strings().

This was also not hard to do, except that we really want the importtool here;
however, its package, zope.importtool, is not part of the distribution
either. We might want to add this so, and remove importchecker.py.

This was added without much hassle.

For some reason this one gave me a hard time, so I just left it out.
