You can use paste to create those. The quickstart is actually a kind of wrapper to it, including some logic to insert or not some parts of the templates inside the created project. If you copy the existing templates and customize them to your needs and point them to paste, then you'll have what you want. Abolishing conditionals and dialogs should be easily done with enough templates and working with how you'd glue them together. > Obviously you can do this now, but I haven't found any obvious way to > add command line switches or arguments, and it doesn't seem to be > possible to not use the two default quickstart questions.

You can use paste directly. There's no difference in the end result if you customize your templates the right way (e.g. by copying and removing what you don't want from TG's templates).

I believe that just the ignore the interactive prompts is interesting.
