Should not these constants rather be chameleon variables?

Why Pusher::GetStdSize?

Ok, I will move necessary constants to chameleon. I will also reduce the new constants to a minimum and remove all constants related to Layout engines.

Pusher: GetStdSize:
I thought if someone derives from it, there would be a - hopefully - usable GetStdSize.
But no problem I will remove it.

Additional changes I discovered useful while programming my layouter:

I will more concentrate on GetMinSize(), because here it is relative clear what is meant: The minimum size which will not truncate an information (labels, text, ...).

For some controls - like buttons - I will supply GetStdSize().
For example I will add a small margin to the left and right of the button and make sure the button has a minimum default size.

Since my layouter is nearly complete I will soon start with checking and implementing GetMinSize(), GetStdSize() for some other controls and post the new patch for review.

I leave out GetMaxSize completely, because currently I have no clue what could be useful values for it.

Thanks,
Ralf
