I like this idea of interactive mode a LOT. Also, an option to place the
cache in ~/.qooxdoo/cache is consistent with many Linux applications (e.g.
the mozilla cache goes in ~/.mozilla/somegarbagestring/cache).
I have one further request for create-application: have it read ~/.qooxdoorc
for default settings. The cache path could be provided in there, as could
options for "quiet" (the current -q) and "silent" (don't ask the interactive
questions described above; rather use defaults provided here in .qooxdoorc,
and if not found here, then in base.json).
There's some common place for the equivalent of "rc" (start-up
configuration) files on Windows too IIRC, but I don't remember where that
is. It'd be nice to have similar functionality on all platforms if possible.
