Although,  it would be a pretty killer feature to have a "fasttemplate
compatibility mode" incorporated (which could default to off, and be
set/disabled with a class function), as that potentially could easily
bring a hell of a lot more of a userbase to Giapeto ;-)

Cool. There's certainly a couple of dynamic code blocks they need that
rely on Horde authentication information, but aren't actually part of
Horde, and that would help with them.
