[Building Sakai] Site Management Patch

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi John,

we needed a way to configure this at runtime from any site that we  
mark as a template and not necessarily copy content, just the tools,  
much the same way as the copySite webservice works.

Having to have a certain siteid such as what SAK-12868 does is a  
little cumbersome, especially if the site is well established and you  
want to copy content as you can't change the siteId afterwards. Our  
patch allows any site to be marked as a template.

It might be useful to join forces here, using our property method and  
the EntityTransferrer method to transfer content if desired.


cheers,
Steve
