[typo] Themes

[Scott Laird]

During the theme contest, I offered to add one or two of the winning themes to Typo 4.0.  Since we're about a week away from 4.0 right now, it's time to decide what we're going to add.  I really don't want to add more then a couple extra themes; post 4.0 we'll look at ways to package new themes (and sidebars and text filters) to make them easier to install, so I don't want to bloat the tree with dozens of themes.  On the other hand, it'd be nice to have more then just Azure available, even if it's just to remind developers that we can't assume that Azure is the only theme around.

So, I'd like to get a bit of feedback from people.  Is this a good idea at all?  If so, which theme(s) should we add?

These are probably my three favorite Typo themes (although the list changes from week to week):

 Origami: http://typo.leevigraham.com/
 Lush: http://typogarden.com/articles/2005/11/28/lush-theme
 Brighthouse: http://www.height1percent.com/pages/brighthouse/

I'm not sure if the authors of all three themes would even consent to having them bundled with Typo, and I'd rather not include any theme that requires *too* many graphics files--our .gem is around 600k right now, and I don't want to add a couple MB of images to it if I can avoid it.

If we can come to some sort of consensus here, then I'll go ahead and talk to the authors and see what we can add.
