I would rather find a better way to deal with this and I'm sure someone
has already dealt with this issue. We should deal with it in Ant,
there are already a couple of platform specific things that I
would like to get rid of. I would really prefer not to add another
one.

This has already been fixed and tested. And having two directories
of templates would be a loathsome maintenance problem. The chop
has been fixed and Martin has tested it under windows.

The double set of templates you definitely shouldn't check in. But
if you can actually find a way to deal with the execution of
scripts properly that would very much be appreciated. I'm sure
there must be something in the Ant archives dealing with the
problem you're finding.
