Ok, I agree with Michael and Mattias that a separate layout component
and a TWinControl.Layout property is the only way that satisfies all
the requirements.
It is also the intuitive way. Any other control like this (that is not
displaying as part of the form / popupmenu, filedialogs) are dropped on
the Form, and *not* parented (childed) to any control in the form.
Popupmenus are also assigned via a property. => that is what users will
expect.
Same for Datasources, on a DBGrid, etc
