Several Survey UI fixes. Fixes: Too narrow fieldsets in new question/option dialogs. Survey submit (on take view) and save/export/etc. buttons at weird places, instead of at bottom. Weird placement of radio buttons in Opera. Too narrow selects in IE. Broken images in edit view in IE and Opera. Reviewed by: Lennard de Rijk (Only on IE)

def timesince(d, now=None):
    """
    Takes two datetime objects and returns the time between d and now
    as a nicely formatted string, e.g. "10 minutes".  If d occurs after now,
    then "0 minutes" is returned.

    Units used are years, months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes.
    Seconds and microseconds are ignored.  Up to two adjacent units will be
    displayed.  For example, "2 weeks, 3 days" and "1 year, 3 months" are
    possible outputs, but "2 weeks, 3 hours" and "1 year, 5 days" are not.
