Right now I'm at BSDCan, so I don't really have the time to do any dev 
until I get back next week... so after we release and make the move to 
subversion I plan to turn all of the templates into "source" form (so 
that the in-svn templates can be opened and edited with Xcode), fix 
clean.py, and make a build script that does the clean.py step (builds 
usable templates from the xcode-openable-projects).
