Integrate Radix with Bootswatch Theme Templates [#1910856]

I did some work on integrating the Bootswatch Bootstrap templates into a Radix starter-theme-based sub-theme see http://super.coop

Bootswatch
http://bootswatch.com/
https://github.com/thomaspark/bootswatch

it worked rather well and was a great way to get started quickly
http://bootswatch.com/#gallery

there is a Bootswatch SASS port
https://github.com/maxim/bootswatch-rails

a Bootswatch LESS
https://github.com/scottvrosenthal/twitter-bootswatch-rails
and all the CSS / JS Bootswatch here

ultimately it would be awesome if Radix provided the option to select a Bootswatch theme like this Wordpress theme
WP-Bootstrap
http://320press.com/wpbs/v2-1-released/

also, using LESS there is a Bootswatch sub-project that allows creation of new sub-themes/versions of Bootswatch (I think)

Actually, integrating bootswatch with Radix is quite simple. I'm using https://github.com/theblacksmith/sass-bootswatch.

Choose a bootswatch theme from the repo.
Copy _variables.scss onto your radix sub theme _variables.scss. (Example: https://github.com/theblacksmith/sass-bootswatch/blob/gh-pages/cosmo/_va...)

That should do it.

actually found Sizzle to be a better starting point

am also adding some Block/Context friendly regions so I can bridge from Open Outreach

had to edit the Radix css to remove a bug for Chrome images because I used an older version of compass_radix so I could get pane-menu-tree class working in both Open Outreach and Panopoly
