Description

A use case for this could be the creation of graphics elements that needs precise control over positioning, like many Flash
applications/animations where the Graphic Team set the rules of what the application have to be, and sometimes they realize a prototype.

Another Use Case could be the Pivot GUI Builder, placing elements in GUI and moving them after, or set the desired layout after.

Suggestion:
need to create pivot.wtk.Panel and pivot.wtk.skin.PanelSkin. I'd suggest that the skin always report a preferred size of 0x0
Suggestion for the names (AbsolutePanel ?) ...
