Well, the fact that the names don't reflect the sizes very well came to my 
mind, too, after I saw how they look like: The "large" border isn't really 
large when you compare it with sizes as "Huge" or "Oversized". The problem is 
that the second-smallest size is called "Normal".

Maybe we can rename the sizes a little bit:

BorderTiny
BorderSmall (was BorderNormal, this is the default one)
BorderMedium (wasBorderLarge)
BorderLarge (was BorderVeryLarge)
BorderVeryLarge (was BorderHuge)
BorderHuge (wasBorderVeryHuge)
BorderLargest (was BorderOversized)

That sounds good, so I do not need to look into those decorations. From the 
currently ported decorations there are KDE2, Keramik, ModSystem, Quartz, and 
Redmond left. I will look into these. (I have already started with the KDE2 
decoration.)
