Description From Von Welch 2008-02-05 18:42:28

Allow for customization of GS-CA look and feel. I think this has two
components:
* First, use CSS in the GS-CA output, pointing to a CSS file that can be
modified locally by the deployer.
* Second, improve the current collection of CGI scripts with a centralized web
app of some sort. I'm currently considering either something like Mason
(www.masonhq.com) or just a simple approach based on Text::Template. The main
idea is that all output goes through a common script/app to make consistency
easier.

Readily available options see to be:
 * Mason - http://search.cpan.org/~drolsky/HTML-Mason-1.40/lib/HTML/Mason.pm
 * HTML::Template -
http://search.cpan.org/~samtregar/HTML-Template-2.9/Template.pm
 * Text::Tempalte -
http://search.cpan.org/~mjd/Text-Template-1.45/lib/Text/Template.pm

All three of these seem to be independent, build on different philosophies and
not interoperable.

I discovered I have a branch in CVS (HTML_TEMPLATE) where I have already
started an implementation based on Text::Template. Not coming up with any
reason to see this as a mistake, I will continue working on this code and plan
on sucking it back into HEAD shortly.

This code is now on head, but I don't believe it is used ubiquitously yet.

All output now uses Text::Template, implemented by GridShibCA::HTMLTemplate. On
Head, slated for 2.0 release.
