Extending Builders: Layout Builders

[Dr. Michael Paus]

Great - These are exactly the convenience methods I had in mind when I 
wrote the original request.
I just did not have the time to sort this all out :-)

One more question. Will this work be part of the 2.2 release or will it 
come later in the 3.0 release?
