A really great idea. But I just see one big problem : binary compatibility.
The App/Interface Kit team is currently aiming for binary comp, and I don't
think it can be done if we derivate all the UI class from a new one managing
the layout... (but hopefully I'm totally wrong)
Binary compatible ... to be or not to be ?
