Why make it a download-at-install time?  The user has already downloaded
something -- why should they download _more_?

Why can't we bundle two or three stylesheets in an /other/ sub-directory
with the source tarball, and allow users to immediately have some
flexibility?

What I think would _really_ help a lot of people would be:
* 1 fixed-width two-panel design
* 1 fixed-width three-panel design
* 1 fluid two-panel design
* 1 fluid three-panel design
These sample stylesheets would be color and layout only, with no images
(ie: _just_ .css files).
