I'm integrating the one found in /modules/VtlPortlet.zip into the core Jetspeed
for 1.3a2. I'll complete and commit it as soon as I have finished the PSML
persistence system modification...

The templates are used for the Jetspeed screen/layout/navigation templates if you
enable Velocity rather than JSP has the default template engine.

The Velocity integration I'm doing is to two fold:
- write a VelocityPortletControl (adapted from Roberto VTLPortletControl) and
reimplement the base controls woth velocity templates (done, but uncommitted)
- write a VelocityPortlet that enables you to easily implement a Velocity based
portlet (about 60% done but depends on the new PSML persistence...)
