I've got that more or less done here at home.  I'll check it in within a
few hours.

I'll add this to my to-do list.  For now, let's just leave the
style sheets in the top level directory.  (Unless you write new
style sheets (for new themes), in which case put them in
themes/wherever/...)

There's actually nothing in admin that is currently functional.
Everything that gets used by the main code has already been moved
to lib.  Just leave /admin alone for now --- we'll clean it up at
some point.

This can wait, too...  Steve's probably the one who should decide how to
move the docs around.  We should probably leave at least one top-level
README
file to point people to the doc subdir.

Personally, I'd really prefer if images would stay in the images
subdirectory (since then, that's the only sub-tree which needs
to be HTTP accessible, which makes life simpler for lots of people).
If you want to put theme-specific graphics in subdirectories of /images
that makes sense.  E.g. "$logo=themes/Forge/SteelyDanSig.png".

I don't know how anybody else feels about this.  You might want to wait
another day or so to see if anyone else pipes up.
