Integrate jQueryUI ThemeRoller with Apache MyFaces.

Hi
 
     I am interested to get better skinning support in Apache MyFaces. I want to 
get MyFaces closely integrated with http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/ - I am 
targeting MyFaces JSF1.2 branch.
 
The end result should be the same with what PrimeFaces already did 
- http://www.primefaces.org/themes.html 
 
My initial idea is to implemented a JQueryCssToMyFacesCss kind of compiler which 
will get as input the jquery CSS syntax and will dump MyFaces CSS syntax.
 
I have few questions related with this:
	* Did anybody tried something similar in the past - in the MyFaces community?
	* Do you think the approach is achievable? Do you have a better suggestion? Is 
the UI MyFaces CSS syntax a generic enough UI css framework or is making MyFaces 
specific assumptions?
	* Is this doable only by implementing the previous compiler or the 
MyFaces/Trinidad components should be touched also?
 
Here is the documentation for jQuery UI CSS framework
 
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Theming/API
 
Thank you,
Virgil
