+1. And I guess the actual js and css bundles go in CMFPlone?

If we first add the widgets bundle to CMFPlone, then we can work on 
converting the widgets in Archetypes and plone.app.z3cform one widget at 
a time in smaller pull requests, rather than needing one 
mega-PLIP-branch. What do you think?  I know I personally would be 
motivated to work on the reference widget/plone.formwidget.contenttree 
replacement, because I am starting to look into converting portlets to 
z3c.form, and I need it for that.
