 You're right. Override paths method or get_template_root works great for
everything i was worried about but one thing. Thank you. Sorry for wasting time
on that.

The one thing is ADDING ADDITIONAL EXTERNAL LIBRARIES to paths that your
templates in "template_root" will use, I'm still not sure Maypole allows for
this as well as it should. Only way i could do it was to override paths which
is rather extreme just to add something to INCLUDE_PATH. I'm not complaining ,
just giving my 2 cents as a user. :) Hopefully you'll again show me maypole
does just what i want.
