Sure, the more templating engines the better! :-)

The only caveat here is that I definitely don't have the time to implement this,
and besides, I don't know ASP. Andy Wardley sent me a big patch to enable
Template Toolkit support, so if somebody wants to take a whack at this and send
me a corresponding patch, I will gladly add it. Look near the bottom of
render(), where there are some if/elsif/else statements looking for the type of
template specified. This shouldn't be too hard to slot in there.
