Oh, this is pretty good.  Maybe tlayout.php should automatically
set a value for $PageTemplateDir based on the value of $PageTemplatePath?
And it'd be really nice if we could also set a $PageTemplateDirUrl also,
for references to images and css files.  But I'm not quite sure of a
robust way to achieve this last one...

Oh, you're right.  Perhaps I should also set a $LastModifiedByPage
that has the profile page of the person that last edited the page
(i.e., that strips the spaces and stuff, same as is done for $AuthorPage
in scripts/author.php)?
