It would be helpful for the template distributers if a 'generate executable template' button was added to the
template window. This button would open up a new window that allows the author to select files and folders
and HFS settings. Once the author clicks ok, a new file is created, say .tpe (template executable) that, when
opened with HFS woudl automatically modify the users HFS to the new template settings. Of course, there
would be a warning window that pops up showing the user what settings are going to be changed with OK/Cancel
buttons.

Basically, the author could do something like:
  -Write template
  -Add /template folder to root
  -Add MIME types
  -Set folder attributes (hidden, not count as download etc)
and turn it into a runnable template file for HFS. This could potentially make installation of new templates alot
easier for the less tech savvy users.

consider you can already make all this with a normal programming language, controlling HFS via command line.
using a language like python is not very hard.
