 I am currently working on a theme that does not use frames, uses a nice
 tableset, even when modules are being used the table menus stay. I made
 a simple patch to the web-lib.pl (to the header and footer subroutines).

 I think it looks much better without frames, i hate frames. :)

 Not sure whether I will be able to release my changes back, if anything
 I might be able to release the web-lib.pl changes, if they are accepted.
 basically it will introduce a theme config option like tables=1 and 
 web-lib-.pl will check that conf option whenever the header and footer
 subroutine are called, if that option is true it will call a header.pl
 script in the theme's directory and return the output to the module,
 this can be an entire tableset so the module content is in it's own
 table in this layout, and the footer.pl will close it all up. it works
 very nicely.
