I've created a package wich adds an action to create a folder. It's 
called menttes.action.createfolder and it should work adding it to 
buildout.cfg.

The package is published in pypi:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/menttes.action.createfolder/0.1dev-r68295

and sourcecode in collective:
http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/menttes.action.createfolder/trunk

Right now you can define just the foldername but i'm adding an option to 
choose the default view in few days. Also you could modify it to get the 
foldername you want.

Kind Regards
