Subject: Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GenerateFile source template different from output file
I would like to be able to add some additional files such as my SubmittingPatches file which is based on git's to my distributions. These are mostly the same but with a few modifications. So what I'd like to be able to do is a have a central template and then specify the variables that go into it in dist.ini. from the documentation this doesn't seem possible atm.

This will be made possible by the current work on global configuration. -- rjbs

If you want to do this at 'dzil new' time, you will want to use GatherDir::Template in your profile.ini and put the template files in a directory to be gathered. Any plugin can consume the Role::TextTemplate role to easily generate templated files. -- rjbs
