The GPL could cause problems for the end user of they decide to modify or 
customize the frontend and then redistribute it.  In this case they would be 
required to release the source code.  That may not be an issue since all of the 
code is PHP script code anyway.  But the bigger issues is that there is a 
license conflict which can bring heartache to some customers.  The fact that we 
have an option in trunk whether we backport to the 3.1 or 3.0 branches, gives 
end users an option if they feel nervous about powertemplate.  At the very 
least, we should probably  backport the Dwoo code to 3.1 and 3.0 and make if 
available even if we don't put the backport in the main repository branch.
