By not supporting the user to choose different smarty templates (which I agree
should not be our first goal for introducing them) we can deliver pre-compiled
template files in a non-writable directory. Smarty's compile checks can be
disabled/bypassed, so that it will work okay. It would just be required upon
bundling the release to parse the compiled templates in a single run so that the
right compiled *.php files are delivered.

Actually disabling the compile checks would also speed things up a bit.

And I agree, forcing a writable directory wouldn't be so great security-wise.

Best regards,
Garvin
