In my case I'm not interested in cataloging anything, there reason is
I'm just adding new fields to a newly created catalog and there
aren't any object to catalog just yet.

I'm guessing Ivo has similare problems because he also are creating
the catalog programmetically.

I'm doing this as a part of a custom add view that defines a
overrided createAndAdd(self, data), I think Ivo does it
in a more CMF like fashion (just after quick glans on his code).

I don't have the faintest idea what NotYet is supposted to be
raise for? Accutally I'm haveing problems finding the code
that does this because the traceback is Zope 3 cryptic and
I don't have a debugger setup either.

(I was hoping not having to care about the innerworks of the catalog,
but that maybe is too much too hope for ;-)
