 RTL to begin with: buttons, jquery-ui-dialog, wp-auth-check
 > the other is ones that use .rtl - farbtastic, install, editor, wp-
 pointer
 > finally, colors-fresh uses some RTL, which I imagine should be pushed
 into wp-admin if at all possible (could specify border-color: instead of
 border-left-color:, assuming border-left-size: gets switched to border-
 right-size: in wp-admin.css, for example)

 '''wp-auth-check.css''' the generated RTL should be used.

 '''jquery-ui-dialog.css''' : most "flips" here should be skipped - but
 some are correct. All the ```.ui-resizable-xx``` should not be flipped,
 since they refer to the cursor changes at the various borders of the UI
 window. However, the ```float``` on ```.ui-dialog .ui-dialog-title```
 should be flipped. A few of the rules are overwritten with ```.rtl```
 calls in editor.css and need to be cleaned up there. I'll attach a patch
 for this file


 '''buttons.css''': There's one small minor rule that requires RTL
 ```margin-right: -1px;``` in ```.wp-core-ui .button-group > .button```.
 There's another one in ```.wp-core-ui input[type="reset"],[...]``` where
 we set both ```padding-right``` and ```padding-left``` separately but
 those can be combined.  Not sure about this one.
