Why not just make this part of the template file that has already been
added to the spec?  One would specify what should be in the header of the
source file, the header of the header file, same for the footers, and then
the format of the different code snippets that Code Mill creates.  One
would probably only need to have one variable, the date, since names, etc.
would be entered by hand (once) into each peronalized template files.
