-To facilitate local hacking, RT needs a mechanism to allow site administrators
-to easily add HTML templates for the web ui and to replace sections
-of code in RT's core modules _without_ having to modify those modules
-
-We'll use several methods to achieve this goal.
-
-       Webui
-               HTML::Mason allows users to create multiple
-component hierarchies.  RT should ship with a local component root
-defined and available. This root should be configured as the "primary"
-component root.
-
-
-       Core modules
-
-       This gets a bit trickier. we want to allow people to trivially
-subclass core modules and to use those subclasses throughout the code.
-
-The way we're going to handle this is by setting up a number of subroutines
-in config.pm that look something like this:
-
-sub NewTicketObj {
-       eval "require $TicketClass";
-       my $object = new $TicketClass;
-       return ($object);
-}
-
-# This variable is used for ref type checking
-$TicketClass = "RT::Ticket";
-
-we could use an eval around the require and thus completely avoid specifying
-the object in two places. which feels like a win. but i'm worried about perf.
