As decided in yesterday .LRN meeting, I've revoked the commit of simple4.{adp,tcl} files. I'm Sorry for committing that before an approval. I just want to point that, adding a 4 columns layout does not force anybody to use it.
So, I don't need now the upgrade scripts to add the tcl code to new-portal to use this layout. I'll keep this code locally.
I'm sorry yesterday was not discussed about the "fast way" to switch between current layouts (1, 2 or 3 columns) without the need of empty a page. That's part of the improvement I want to do to the "configure" page (customize a portal). Maybe it needs a new thread :)
