Hi,

Julian suggested a new template without using the word 'template', so here
it is. Now it uses "HelloWorld" as a project name and it can be easily
changed using the script 'set_project_name.sh'.

For example, to create a new application named 'sky':

- Decompress the template
- mv helloworld sky
- cd sky
- set_project_name Sky
- sudo bake install
- sky

I also modified other minor things such as enclosing the application into
its own namespace.

Albert
