The template concept does work, but with limitations. If you don't care
about portability between installations, then it is entirely possible to
use symlinks and a template script. I had tried a project very similar to
your idea, but had to halt progress on it because it did not properly
isolate settings, resulting in a portability problem; it worked for me, but
only in the environment I was running at home. The project is dormant for
the moment, but I will eventually return and re-vamp it away from templates
for portability reasons. Feel free to look around and/or borrow any ideas
from it at
