Thanks for the certification, lerdsuwa.

libRUIN

I finally solidified the libRUIN code enough to add it as a project on Savannah (project page here). The time I've been spending on it is mostly devoted to rewriting the layout algorithms to be more in tune with the W3C CSS algorithms -- I'd basically fudged it all in earlier revisions. I'd spent a lot of time writing a not-inelegant sizing algorithm that produced reasonable layouts in most circumstances but rather squished things in certain cases in a very un-CSS way. So now I've separated the layout algorithms according to 'display' property and I've got block and inline layout working. Now it's on to table layout (shudder).
