Johannes and I (Ralf) made an implementation of the "Legend item layout - table
style" feature request based on the mailinglist discussion. We decided
to choose the implementation version based on the GridArrangement class
so we could leave the existing classes unchanged. We also made an JUnit
test. You can find the implementation proposal attached as a patch.
