dynamic metaclass overwrites custom methods

Hello,

if I define:

class A:
    __metaclass__ = dynamic.CustomObjectMeta
    entityName = 'A'
    mdl_define_properties = 1

    def setName( self, value ):
	pass

name being a class property, when the metaclass __new__ method populates
the instance with code it overrides setName with the stock one.
My fix here is to check for the existence of the method before overriding
and rename it to 'mdl_'+method_name (which might not be inline
with your naming conventions) in case it's already there.

patch follows

comments anyone?

cheers
