	Is there a way to put a variable in an Apache .conf file that
you can access from a PHP script?  You could fill that variable with the
absolute path of the appropriate templates directory, and then use it
whenever you include something in a PHP script.

	Your PGP key (id 0x8A354275?) doesn't have a self-signature,
making it invalid under the current RFCs.  You should use PGP to
explicitly self-sign your public key, then re-upload it to the public
keyservers.

Have fun (if at all possible),
