filecreate is basically just a simple create-file-from-template plugin.
It allows to put custom templates into <project>/templates and use them
depending on the file-type thats created. With support for some
variables, like author, version, filename and so on.

Obviously this needs a public interface to be useable with things like a
class/code-generator. I also want to allow for cross-project templates
and custom variable support. But I'm not sure I can pull that one off
for 4.0, it would be nice but its not a showstopper as one can always
use a bit of copy/paste+search/replace for creation of files.
