the reason I did it the way that I did is so that I could take advantage 
of the kdevplatform_add_app_templates macro, which I have no clue about. 
If we could integrate a call to this macro into the "save as" dialog 
then that would be great because they share the same code, although it 
seems a bit scary that a UI may be able to call a cmake macro :s i don't 
know.... And I think its important to keep the variable placeholders in 
the code, and not just replace project name with placeholders. So in 
fact what we would need would be a template template ;) Project > New

I may do some testing on this one tomorrow.
