What's missing in the tools view is, that we have to click on
a overview (title) to see what's behind.

It whould be nice to see in the tools view a list of all tools where
direct provide a input radio field for to add the tool.

No we have:
"""
PAU Extraction Plugin 
---------------------
PAU Extraction Plugin

PAU Search Plugin 
-----------------
PAU Search Plugin
"""

It whould be nice to have a tools where we directly see the 
tools where we can add (include the add function) like:

"""
PAU Extraction Plugin 
---------------------
o Add PAU Extraction Plugin

PAU Search Plugin 
-----------------
o Add Principal Folder 
o Add SQL PAU Authentication Plugin 

      ------------    -----
Name |            |  | Add |
      ------------    -----
"""

I also like to have more usefull information in such management views.
e.g. 
- List allready registred utilities, for prevent of double adding
- List allready registred names, for prevent of double adding
- Delete a tool (for do your work in one view)

My target whould be, to do all what we can do with tools/utilities in 
one place. I think, the most problem to administrate zope3 is
to klick arround an find where you can do what. Especily for new users.
 
I propose to use more usability factors for visualize information.
This could be colors like. (Just a quick example)

Green title = allready exsit
Red title = registred not on default interface 

I added allready this concept in the grant.html view on the 
branch roger-sourcequeryview. Please take a look there if you
interessted to see what I mean.
