If you take a look at the attached local conf, I've been through and
reformatted this into segments. Now looking at the config file I'm sure
it would be pretty easy to use a template and just gather some basic
info from users.
Check out;
http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/
If a media root folder is specified for instance, the
movies/images/music etc... will be in so called directories below the
media root. Its a simple task to check the existence of these folders
and create them if they don't exist.
cheetah seems like a great way of achieving things like this quickly.
