I don't think it should be a sysext unless it works like TER.

The extension should not ship with any templates but rather provide a 
download interface just similar to the extension manager (or, maybe it 
_can_ be a part of the EM?)

If there will be a nice interface, I expect new templates will come up 
pretty quick.

Actually there's not much that needs to be done:
- an example template (extension)
- an extension that takes care of
    a) browsing and downloading new templates
    b) creating an example site structure
    c) selecting a new template for it

Importing a new site can be done easily using a T3D file:

Anyone who likes to work on this?
