I had rather not make the tool responsible for generating
presentation;  instead, I might add a method to the URLTool:

  def listBreadCrumbs( self, context ):
      """
          Return a list of folders up to the CMFSite, suitable
          for generating a "breadcrumbs" list.
      """
      #...

and then add a 'breadcrumbs' DTML method (or PythonScript, but
I prefer to keep presentation in DTML or ZPT) which called it and
built the presentation.

Tres.
