You can also _just_ create the controlheader.vm and controlfooter.vm
files without making a whole new template. Just add the following dir
structure to your web-app:

/templates/xhtml
  - controlheader.vm
  - controlfooter.vm

I dont know if this ever got checked in to cvs or not but this seems 
like it can help you out (if it is checked in..) you could do similar 
things just using other templates but its alot easier to just create new

foo-header.vm instead of a whole new template dir and files for that 
template dir
