[Webware-discuss] PATCH: KidKit - accept external Wrappers

[Scott R. <sc...@rs...>]

This may or may not be useful - it allows you to set a KidKitWrapper
variable inside a .kid file to use a custom wrapper.

I basically moved the load_template outside of the wrapper and check it
for a custom KidKitWrapper, and load that if it's found.  This is how
I'm integrating KidKit into a SecurePage setup.  If anyone needs further
details, I can work up an example.  If anyone can show me a better way
to do this with as minimal impact, I'm all ears.
