templating should def. be on the critical path considering that
their used by every application package in the acs4. i've skimmed
through the code and it looks as though it should be a near drop in
for functionality. the db dependencies seem to be nonexistent except
for api calls to the db.
i'd like to clean up some of the redundancy between the templating
system and the db_api. there are still some artifacts in the
templating system reflecting its design to be a standalone system.
keven scaldeferi put up a nice overview of the request processor and
templating in a wimpy point presentation. the last page goes through
the workings of the templating machinery although it leaves out the
compilation to a proc (which can be inferred from the code::
namespace).
