[Flow] Using Layout from other package

[Christian Loock]

Hey,

wow, you are my hero. Thanks for sharing this.

So what i did, based on your code: I added one method to the controller 
that needs to use the layout of another package.

/**
         *
         * @param ViewInterface $view
         */
         protected function 
initializeView(\TYPO3\Flow\Mvc\View\ViewInterface $view) {
             parent::initializeView($view);
             /** @var \TYPO3\Fluid\View\TemplateView $view */
$view->setLayoutRootPath('resource://BasePackage/Private/Layouts');

         }

Using the setLayoutRootPath allows you to determine the layout which you 
want to use in the template itself.

This is pretty cool stuff, however, i still think thats not the cleanest 
way to do, but at the moment it seems to be the only way.

What would be cool to have:

Add a parameter to the layout ViewHelper to controll which Package to 
use. Something Like this:

<f:layout name="MyLayout" package="Vendor.Packagename" />

I also tried writing my own ViewHelper that loads any template from a 
given package, but couldnt really figure out how to do it :(

Something like loading partials, but not being limited to files in the 
partials folder of your own Package would also be great to have:

<f:include file="any/depth/of/subfolders/in/template/dir/foo.html" 
package="Vendor.Packagename" />
