I changed the template loader so now it can read templates from files in
addition to resources, which makes writing custom templates much easier
for end users.

That's how it can be done:
      * Create the templates, both project and file templates are
        supported (xpt.xml or xft,xml, although the extension name
        doesn't really matter).
      * Create a .addin.xml file which registers the templates.
      * Copy all templates and the .addin.xml file to
        ~/.config/MonoDevelop/addins (you can create a subdirectory
        there).

I'm attaching a sample template and .addin.xml file.

Lluis.
