Issues I have regarding CMF components:

1.
How to layer skins: in the install for CMFOptions
I tell folks to put the cmf skins 'name' after custom for
all listed skins.  This layering _will_ end up being a
problem - what if other product providers say the same
thing? Which additional skin folder goes first?  This
will end up being a source of confusion.

2. Installation: it would be nice to be able to take one
step to install everything, rather than to have to recite
a (not too long) list of steps involving adding the new
type(s), adding the skin folder, and adding 
the skin folder name into the N places it goes in the 
skin layer page.

That's my 2 cents.

PS - I hope that CMF is stable, architecture wise. It would
be burdensome to adapt to a different architecture going forward.
