A good refactoring of the code. I would try it with some of the zope3
goodness that's used in plone 2.5. Using the zope3 stuff will probably
allow us to clean out a lot of hairy code.

For instance, ploneformmailer could fire off a zope3 event "I've got a
new form" which could then be intercepted by whatever backend you'd
want. Partially daydreaming here :-)
