With Plone 3.0 workflows are now xml definitions so I've done the workaround -- generate workflows for Plone 2.5, export them via portal_setup
 and then add them as xml definitions.

I suspect that this will not work with portal_quickinstaller, I'd love some guidance in this area.

If you're using GenericSetup extension profiles, then potral_quickinstaller in Plone 3 will detect the installable product and let you install it.

Okay...
Works nicely.
A few notes on how I did it:
  • Generated the product as a plone 2.5 product
  • Installed it on Plone 2.5
  • Exported only the workflows using portal_setup
  • cleaned up the resulting workflow.xml file to only use the workflows for my product
  • moved the workflows folder and workflow.xml file to the profiles/default directory
  • deleted the Workflow py files in the Extensions folder

Don't delete the generated 'Extensions' folder it is still needed

I probably, or rather definitely, should not delete my Workflow scripts... I'll need to investigate if that works fine also.
