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 https://bitbucket.org/avery_payne/supervision-scripts.
