A new skin for the new year

Upgraded and reskinned the IPROMS conference website.

While there is still some polishing to do on the visuals, the overall design will remain as it is. I will need to put new functionality there. At the moment I'm experimenting with a few approaches to importing OOo Impress presentations. That is a challenge which needs to be solved, but I'm still not sure what is optimal. The Open Document standard is a weird beast, I think a weird bad beast. I wish I could use docbook for this purpose, but that is a dream, which won't come true.

I'm using a custom theme, and I think the modular css approach payed off when developing the stylesheets. I was lost less than usual. I still need to summarise my experiencies. I know, that having multiple files is sub-optimal for performance, but extremely useful for development. That's why when I come to uploading my theme set to contribs I will use this modular approach. If someone wants to optimise they can always hand merge evrything.
