[support] Different stylesheet based on path

Tue Jul 1 20:00:08 UTC 2008

I actually ended up finding a completely different way of doing this, and it
works great.

The owner of the fabulous Sections module mentioned to me that the Garland
theme that ships with Drupal actually kind of does this with the Minnelli
theme. It's basically a folder inside of Garland that has a css file and an
info file. You can also have a screenshot and logo file.

But, this way, I can use the sections module to specify which theme based
off the main that I want for various taxonomy.
