 When building mapguide from source, the resulting build output is not
 immediately usable. The server you can run straight away, but the web
 extensions require a whole lot of manual setup as the web extension config
 files are templated with lot of placeholder tokens (which the installer
 would substitute in).

 What we really need is an instant-config utility that auto-configures your
 web extensions based on the current output directory of the web
 extensions.

 This would greatly speed up the code-test-debug cycle as we no longer need
 to build/run the installer as a means of getting a functional web
 extensions component for your freshly built binaries.

 As a side-benefit, such a tool would allow for non-standard installation
 that can be easily set up.
