Hi Everybody,

After chatting with Stefan on #fresco (and having more chances to feel inferior to
Fresco..) about layout engines, I thought I should bring up the topic here.

I like the simplicity of picogui's divtree for widget layout. With a little tweaking
it should be able to handle whatever apps need, and it results in a tree that's very
easy to render and traverse.

But what about alternatives?
A constraint solver would be nice, and a good step in the direction of UIs that can
be defined very abstractly.
