I don't see the logic of making the look a straight Plone.  Of course, if
this is only a way to organise material for development purposes, all
fine and good.  But we want to look _different_, don't we?  I also don't
like the idea of having a login page on the front of our website.  But
this is just for organisational purposes, correct?
