[support] User-based reports (WAS: Theming the Contact Page)

[sander-martijn]

Yeah that's not exactly how webforms works - you can't create content 
that is then publically accessible - it would email and/or database the 
submissions and then an admin would have to go in and create the actual 
content type.  Using cck to create a content type and allowing that role 
to create and edit would be the way to go for this.
