Basically, the standard TT view helper creates a simple lightweight TT view 
along the lines those of us who came as refugees from Maypole-land were used to.

The TTSite view creates a TT view and some standard files configured the way

I've intentionally left out any comment on which is better, because I don't 
have a strong opinion either way.
