[dev] IMP login template...

> | Here's the first patch for converting IMP to Horde Templates...

Can you provide any screen-shots for what the pages look like now with
Horde Templates?  I'd like to see what we are getting for the 15% speed
loss, as I'm sure others do, and I don't have time right now to apply
the patches to a test area.  So screenshots would be a help.

I would think there are probably places in IMP where it might be useful,
and others where it might not be useful.  Some forms in IMP are simple
and others complex...

No vote until I either install the patches or see some screen shots.
