To anyone that is interested... I've made a prototype of Mobilize.[1]  This
version of Mobilize is very different from past versions... it is WSGI
middleware package and does not provide a theme like Products.Mobilize did
in the past.  The goal of this package is partly to provide you with a
flexible solution.

Check out the README.  If you are interested in giving it a go, I've got a
paster ini configuration in the weblion svn that you can use.[2]  For
further instructions, just let me know if you're interested.
