This is the kind of setup that I had in mind when I started the
experiments in subclassing applications.  I wrote my own framework for
this - but the idea is general - you have some base code with base
templates and base static files - and then for each individual site
you subclass it and gradually change whatever is needed.  It quickly
gets rather complicated - but I am convinced that it can work.
