 * A mosaic layout based on MosaicAlt
The position of a window in the stack determines its position and layout. And
 the overall tendency to make wide or tall windows can be changed, though not
 all of the options presented by MosaicAlt can be reached, the layout changes
 with each aspect ratio message.
Most importantly for me, it allows changing window sizes by relocating them 
with Layout.WindowNavigation

I have a couple of issues with it that I don't know how to solve:
    - some arrangments are substantially similar
    - sendMessage Wider doesn't know when to be Nothing, so you can 
      increase that counter when you're in the widest layout, the module 
      calculates stuff unnecessarily.
    - What's the best initial list of ratios / list modification functions
    - Would it be better to pick a different name, not to be confused with 
      the original Mosaic?

Thanks All.

PS. Maybe the interface should be cleaned up (by providing default size 
increment lists, and functions on them...) before pushing it.
