Stefan, the problem is that a lot of users have a customized
index.html, which the jinja branch as it stands will not recognize.
Marcus is looking for ways to make that customized index.html show up
for those users.

Marcus, moving public_html/index.html to templates/root.html has the
problem that it will *always* overwrite root.html on upgrade, unless
you special-case the built-in index.html's (recall we discussed
storing hashes of the default files).
