The new template system is a true template system. The template system
documented on the site is the old, but still useful ones.

I think we need to rename the old system to "seeds" and move them to
the tutorials section of the documentation. Then we need to move the
new templates into public view. The new templates are well documented
the readme file, this would need to move to the main site.

I didn't put it into the main site initially as I was hoping that I,
or someone else, would re-implement the current template ant scripts
in a proper programming language (or move to an existing templating
system if a suitable one exists). The current system works, but it is
a cumbersome build process that is very hard to follow. Of course, the
chances of that happening when only a select few know the code exists
is very low.

Patches (to both code and documentation) welcome ;-)
