This is a rather elaborate example that may spark id=E9as about a better
way to do it. :-)


Makefile :

	chmod -R u+w public_html
	ttree -r -f etc/ttree_html.rc
	ttree -r -f etc/ttree_plain.rc

all:
	chmod -R u+w public_html
	ttree -r -a -f etc/ttree_html.rc
	ttree -r -a -f etc/ttree_plain.rc
	chmod -R a-w public_html

init:
	tools/build_page.pl ttree_html.rc.tt > etc/ttree_html.rc
	tools/build_page.pl ttree_plain.rc.tt > etc/ttree_plain.rc
	chmod -R u+w public_html
	rm -rf public_html
	mkdir public_html

In a current project I have taken another step and replaced ttree with
somthing more suitable with the layout.  One thing to think about is
how to build up a tree of components that will work with a combination
of precompiled pages, dynaic pages under mod_perl, pages for HTML or
text/plain and all this for multipple languages and website sections.

In part, I uses this tree layout:

inc/
|-- html
|   |-- c
|   |   |-- admin
|   |   |   `-- updated.tt
|   |   |-- clean
|   |   |   `-- footer.tt
|   |   |-- footer.tt
|   |   |-- menu.tt
|   |   |-- title.tt
|   |   `-- top_menu.tt
|   |-- en
|   |   |-- index.tt
|   |   |-- login.tt
|   |   |-- page_not_found.tt
|   |   |-- search_help.tt
|   `-- sv
|       |-- index.tt
|       |-- login.tt
|       |-- page_not_found.tt
|       `-- search_help.tt
`-- plain
    `-- sv
        |-- visitor2info.tt
        `-- visitor2lodging.tt



The thing above about rendering the configuration for ttree was about
the inability of ttree to handle relative directories.  We are using
CVS and don't want to change the paths each time we update the file
from CVS.
