[Geoprisma-dev] Cleanup the samples

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi,

   Here's what a sample using the "sample template" could look like (see 
image).  The text comes from the sample header.inc.html and 
footer.inc.html files.  I use the OpenLayers example .css file.

   I could apply this change to all the samples that we would keep.  
I'll start with my +1.

Alexandre
