public class WBorderLayout extends WLayout
A layout manager which divides the container region in five regions.

The five regions are composed of: 

 ------------------------------------
 |              North               |
 ------------------------------------
 |      |                    |      |
 | West |       Center       | East |
 |      |                    |      |
 ------------------------------------
 |              South               |
 ------------------------------------

Each region may hold no more than one widget, and for all but the Center region, the widget is optional.

The North, West, East, and South widgets will take their preferred sizes, while the Center widget takes all available remaining space.
