paths to templates

i feel VERY STRONGLY that the path to the templates in our handlers should be

/project/templates/template.wm

this would be a change from the current

/project/template.wm

the reason for this is that for us on win32, it would mean that we don't have to move _any_ files around to get our project tree (from cvs) to run on our servers (apart from compiling .java files).

i appreciate that on linux symlinks are all the rage and so you won't have to move files, but we don't have that luxury. I genuinely feel that the bennefit in terms of development simplicity outways the "unnecessary" additional 10 characters in the handlers.

i hope that allowing me to feel comfortable with my development environment is important enough to you guys for you to consider options other than a strict sysadmin's solution (write a script to move the files each time you do a checkout/commit).
