Yet another variant is the Golden Grid System (MIT License), which sports 18 columns that are proportional across the width of the browser. Those columns telescope into each other for smaller-sized displays, with the spaces between columns also changing proportionally. Better still, font sizes can scale proportionally, so the vertical aspect of the page also adjusts with resizing. Again, very little is included -- just enough to get a design started.

Golden Grid uses 16 columns that can fold into each other. Eight are shown here, with an overlay for the designer that indicates where the columns and gutters are located.
