[Zope-CMF] Have AutoCAD reader, how to integrate it in CMF

[seb bacon]

I'd create a new DWG File Type, based on File, which does the
thumbnail magic, along with actions & skins which display the various
metadata.  Then you just add a file extension predicate of "dwg" to
the content_type_registry .

For an example, have a look at the CMFWordDoc in my MailIn dev bundle
(which I really will get round to finishing and releasing as a
separate product soon.  well, maybe within a month or two...)

I'd be interested in implementing this myself, if you don't get round
to it - could you send me the code?
