I am unable to test these at this time (I get an error from api.py when it encounters:

import acls

What package/file does this come from?)

Meanwhile, here are two patches. The first moves the builtins into cheetah_macros and provides documentation. The second adds cheetah_macros to setup.py and MANIFEST.in (you'll want to check my work).

I'll be as prompt as possible to help resolve any errors that this untested code may (will) introduce.

Subject: [PATCH] moved builtins to cheetah_macros with documentation

The builtin methods have been moved out of template_api.py (except for
SNIPPET and sedesc) into /etc/cobbler/cheetah_macros. I have also
provided documentation with examples for each (mostly).

Unlike what I tried with my previous patch, there will be no file for
user-created pure python methods, just cheetah template methods.
