Description

Add a new component, to the trinidad-sandbox first, that is similar to the panelBorderLayout. Unlike this component the panelStretchLayout would be rendered using DIV instead of TABLE and would be able to stretch horizontally and vertically.

The main reason I am proposing this is to be able to produce a component for the new demo that can frame the browser viewport and have the demo page content in a center-scrolling DIV. This way there can be a header, footer on the page that fits on one page.

For those that are familiar with the Oracle panelStretchLayout, this one would not be as robust. I do not think it would be in the scope to automatically stretch the children and I do not think that it would be needed to have an auto-height for the original version.

The component would have a top, bottom, left, and right facets and use the children for the center. The facet sizes (height and width) would be specified using attributes.
