I had a work request to do fixed width sidebars with a liquid center
and wanted to see if I could integrate it with BP existing framework.
This differs from the existing plugin which makes the whole page
liquid rather than just the center.  This google groups page for
example and other sites with a lot of content like amazon have fixed
columns with a liquid center.

Here's what I came up with so far: http://design-uchi.com/blueprint/

The nice thing about this approach is that you should be able to put
as many columns as you want around the center up as long as it doesn't
exceed the minimum width of the container. Why settle for just two?

Some changes:

* The source order is a little different, you have to put your liquid
center column last in the source
* If you want a border on the liquid column, it has to go on the div
following it rather than on the liquid div itself ( I added two
classes for this).
* Divs to the right of the center are in reverse. Yeah not ideal but
it works

It still needs some testing, I haven't looked in IE yet (working on a
mac today) but it seems to work in FF and Safari.  If someone could
check it out, I'd be grateful.  Any improvement would also be welcome
especially toward coming up with a way to maintain the source order
rather than what I did.
