Life would be lovely if that were up to me.  But the person with the 
checkbook gets to make that decision.  (Of course, I can charge more for 
some customizations...)

That's what I had in mind: swapping in different CSS files under git 
control is straightforward.  Swapping in different views isn't much 
harder.  Mercifully, the customer has not requested any 'tweaks' that 
would require changes to the models or schema -- that could quickly 
become a real PITA.

@Curtis Schofield: The customer is asking for more than just changes to 
the CSS -- he wants different content and some additional views.  And I 
agree that this could become a nightmare -- I plan to maintain a bill of 
materials, SKUs and ECOs for each variant of the app.  That should help 
some.
