lcb missing manual

[Mike Kerner]

It would be interesting if lcb was slower, since it's supposed to be
lower-level.
The demo that Steven did, demonstrating the speed of populating a polyGrid
(lcb widget) vs. a dataGrid (lcs group) was that it was much, much faster.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
