I think it's not so easy because it is not documented anywhere. And
there are some pitfalls. For instance, you cannot name your rendered
like one of the default renderers, even if you intend to replace one of
these, because this entry will be overwritten. You also cannot reuse the
default renderer function in your own function (unless you directly
import it) because in the config file they have not yet been set up.

My feeling is that we have thrown away the baby with the bathwater here.
It was in fact possible to provide options specific to one
templating engine with buffet. If it had shortcomings, buffet should
have been improved instead of completely throwing it away. I guess the
problem was that nobody cared about buffet because nobody felt
responsible. Maybe we as TG community should have better enforced and
improved the buffet standard. But I guess it's probably too late already.

Either that or the couple of lines that you need to add should be
clearly documented with some examples. Best let's do both. (Just saw
that there is already a ticket http://trac.turbogears.org/ticket/2137
and added a comment. I think its priority should be set to high again.)
