I'm not quite sure quite how border should be implemented with
Nitrogen.  Now that we have SVG, there's quite a bit of variety in the
way it could be done.

What I think we should do is, instead, create two folders in
org.xwt.theme: 'png' and 'svg' which contain skeleton code for some of
the widgets that are a useful base from which to create standard themes.

This would have the useful side-effect of removing of all 'visual' (ie
non-rudimentry-box-information) dependent code from xwt.lib leaving
semantic code only and removing the philosophical debate on how much
theme-help code should be in xwt.lib as it can be put, as necessary, in
org.xwt.theme.png|svg instead.

Opinions?
