[PATCH] Sometimes, You Just Need A Bigger Chooser


Ok, here we go.  This patch allows each page of the sheet to be a different
size, as specified in the dialog template.  The sheet is resized to "fit around"
the page, as opposed to the normal behavior that all pages end up the same size
as the biggest page.  The "Next"/"Back"/etc buttons and the lower separator will
be moved to the appropriate positions.  It does not allow user-resizing, though
the foundations of such functionality have now been laid.

A word of caution however.  I urge us to use particular restraint with this
powerful new functionality.  There is no reason for every page to have a
different size, or indeed for any of the other pages to vary from their
MS-recommended sizes.  The Chooser page is a special-case for which no other
solution seemed to present itself.

Two known minor issues:

- The lower separator actually ends up going to the left edge of the sheet.
This is because the controls are only moved, not resized.  It's not very
noticable, but should be fixed before a release.
- The first time the "splash" page is displayed, it has an enabled "Back"
button, which it shouldn't, it should be disabled.  It does nothing if you press
it, but again, something that should be fixed before release.

Oh, and sorry, no Cyppy yet. ;-)

Diff, Changelog, and new file attached.  Wow, that's a load off.  I feel better
already! ;-)
