[Setup] problem upgrading CacheFu

[John DeStefano]

Thank you, Ric.  After removing all the crufty skin layers (there were
nine of them!) and following your pointers to modify the existing
CacheFu scripts, I have it installed without crashing the site on
view.

I now get a strange error "name 'allow_tabbing' is not defined" when
trying to access the Cache Configuration Tool:
http://paste.plone.org/18887

But getting past the installation errors was a big step in the right direction.

Thank you,
~John
