Title: UI Overhaul to use Twitter Bootstrap & Font Awesome

As a result of about a week of solid work, this pull request removes most custom CSS and replaces it with a [Twitter Bootstrap](http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/). I think the result speaks for itself:

[Font Awesome](http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/) is used for icons, which almost completely removes the need for bitmaps images. The new icons are vector images that will scale to almost any resolution.

While there have been javascript changes, for the most part this conversion doesn't attempt to clean up the JS. There's still quite a bit of overlap between jQuery UI, jQuery Autocomplete (obsolete) and Twitter Bootstrap that will need to be removed later.

While Bootstrap & Font Awesome both use LESS templates, I've gone with pre-compiled CSS instead. Again, while a change to LESS might be a good idea long-term, for the moment this works nicely.
