[Building Sakai] Portal NEO Prefix

[Charles Severance]

You cannot get rid of the concept of the prefix if we want to retain the ability to have more than one complete skin in play at the same time.

Just schlepping the neo stuff back to the non-prefixed file names is a poor solution so lazy tools that are out of spec don't have to fix themselves is a mistake and adds more technical debt.

Because the names never changed for such a long time - folks could do something quick and dirty but wrong in tools - lets not reward the behavior.  Lets catch and fix the tools.  There is more than just the name of the CSS in the head material.  It is the portal's way to inject all kinds of things into the tools.

Fix the tools.
