[Seaside] [ANN] Phantasia: A CSS Framework

[Stan Shepherd]

Thanks Hernán,

I'm mostly looking at the SmallFaces package, which appears to be working
withe the one-click version (ie on Pharo). I was a bit concerned that
Phantasia is a prerequisite and that could cause issues later.

Is the status of SmallFaces the same as Phantasia?
