Must say that I tried the YUI grid layouts and css and it does not work for 
me, the layouts are ok at the best but too restrictive and to amend their css 
is a nightmare, the labeling is not very intuitive. Dumping all in one css 
file is horrible I think.

I have kept it simple like Paul's, I take his basic and modify/overide per app

But I am looking foeward to Rodrigo's stuff, based on his other helper it 
should be good.
