lay out lay in layers

purpose of this plugin is, to lay out and lay in a group of consecutive layers of an image (a humble kind of collapse and expand groups of layers) "collapse": a determinable number of layers (including the active layer) will be stored (layed out) in a new image. the name of this image is a time stamp ("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S") plus the string ".xcf". e.g. 20080117-192642.xcf. the visible layed out layers will be merged down to a single layer in the source image. the name of this layer is the above mentioned time stamp. "expand": look for the open image with the name like the active layer's name of the source image. fetch all the layers of the layed-out-layers-image and place them above the active layer. this active layer will not be replaced but switched to invisible. laylaylay registers itself under Image - Layer - Stack.
