1.8.2DNN 6 compatibility fixes
Integrated DNN tab localization (requires at least DNN 5.5 - but there's also a compatibility build availble that runs on 4.6.2+)
Ability to synchronize child items of a profile item with DNN but still be able to customize child pages that exist at that time.
Added default sync per profile - so new profile items initially use this value.

Ability to transport features (boolean flags) from theme editor to the xsl template
Added ability for Outlook skin to only allow one branch to be open at a time (set from the Theme Editor)

ability to specify a folder for a skin to load images from (previously each file needed to be added to skin.xml, now simple copy to resource folder is enough)
refactored localization so there's a default (fallback) entry which NavXp revert to any time it can't find localization for current item

eliminated right and bottom panes from SB studio and simplified layout
integrated hoverIntent so transitions are smoother (for now only used by Box Fly skin)
