Speaking of which, I just now merged the new_theme into loggerhead trunk:

I started on this:

Patches welcome etc.

It's a good idea.  I'm not sure how to do it just logistically -- I
guess 'python setup.py install'/'apt-get install loggerhead' should
install something in /usr/.../plugins/loggerserve?

I think it should be a goal for the next loggerhead release, which we
should release sometime in the next few weeks.
