We do not say "This patch does X" or "I do Y in this patch". perhaps.

	Implement the placeholder substitution to generate scripted
	Porcelain commands, e.g. git-request-pull out of
	git-request-pull.sh

	Generate scripts and templates using CMake, instead of using
	sed like the build procedure in the Makefile does.
