There has been no real work done, other than conceptual: http://wiki.logcheck.org/LogcheckTemplateSystem and also, #376106 includes a proof-of-concept hack in a Makefile. Even though templating isn't that hard, instead of implementing our own solution, maybe it might be worth to investigate existing ones, e.g. m4 and template toolkit etc. I am not saying that they are better, but we should have a look. I do not want to overload dependencies on logcheck, or make it even slower, but maybe there is something out there that already does it all.
