Well, but having a simple script to create a basic directory structure 
and config/app files very handy.

(Actually, what's needed is a gen generator. You create the dirs and 
files you think you'll be using for 90% of your apps, point the gen-gen 
script at it, and it creates a generator tool for creating that same set 
of dir and files on demand.  One of those phantom 'free time' projects, 
I suppose.)

I like the idea of how Rails plops down things you're (most likely) 
going to use, but loathe how the ratio of needed/gee-maybe-but-unlikely 
is so poor.

I guess YAGNI isn't in the Popular Buzz Terms list.

0.27.0 includes a 'nitrogen' script in the bin folder.  It advises the 
user to run 'gen', which is not provided.
