Give each category a specific product listing layouts

I have a zen-cart website with a modification to make it work with two or more different product listing layouts, one per category (instead of the standard single product listing layout). Depending on the selected category, a different [login to view URL] file is loaded. The problem is that each specific [login to view URL] files need to be made manually for each new category. What I really need for my zen-cart website is: - I need 10 additional product listing layouts, next to the existing standard 'product listing' layout' (like "product2 listing", "product3 listing" etc.) integrated in my shop. - Each additional product listing layouts needs to be adjustable from the admin (just like the standard 'product listing'), each with it's own specific configuration: - the number of columns - choose between 4, 3, 2 columns (grid view) or single column view, - number of products per page. - I need an option in the admin, that when creating a new category or editing a category, you need to choose from a popdown which 1 of the 10 product listing layouts it has to use for that specific category (i think that's got to be added in the database?) - each product listing needs to be styled with it's own stylesheets.
