In my original 0.8.7.3 release, MicroGUI was the name of the theme and
that was what AppRun checked for, and it was included in the main
tarball. Only a couple of themes was included in the OroboROX tarball,
and the other ones in an extra theme-tarball. I think that MicroGUI
should not be moved outside OroboROX since it's the default theme and
OroboROX won't work without a theme.
