I understand the YUI2 calendar widget we use was "re-skinned" by editing the default "sam" skin in place, which was expedient but not really skinning and may present maintenance issues if the widget were being actively developed.  I'd like to create a 'lp' skin for the new widget as it looks straightforward unless there is a good reason not to.

I would really prefer that we stopped including external dependencies in
the tree. Is there some other way we can do it? sourcecode, maybe? Our
tree is for our code, not embedding everyone else's.
