Thanks, all applied. I solved splitting templates.hpp a bit differently:
I've created a directory templates.d, which may contain an artibtrary
number of templates which are all read by the script. I've put
templates.hpp and singleton_templates.h in there. I think this may be a
convenient way for us to introduce user-defined code to the script.
