[Maypole] Maypole 2.0 factory templates

Hello list,

a first shot for a new set of factory templates and matching stylesheets
and macros can be found at http://maypole.perl.org/newbeer/frontpage

Currently we got problems with the combination of tables and div's,
especially with low resolutions and small windows. We got the table and
the searchbox overlapping currently. Workarounds would be making the
searchbox another table in a inline row with the table, but this
wouldn't be w3c conform, since tables are not meant to be used a layout
elements, right?
So, what's left: we limit the searchbox to a single-line searchfield
with one default column (defined in the __PACKAGE__->config) and store
it above the table somewhere. It might have a link to extended search
which would be /beerdb/beer/search in case you are coming from the
beer/list and so on.

To be honest, those workarounds are not very appealing to me currently
and I'd rather have the searchbox in the list template due to somewhat
of a tradition to have a search on the same site as the displayed data.

I was hoping for feedback, ideas, patches and critics from the list, the
sooner we find a way to fix it, the sooner we get 2.0 released. :)

regards,
Danijel Milicevic
