Puppet

When using modules, Puppet currently prefers the template in the module over a template in :templatedir. I think this should be reversed, which would provide an easy way of allowing users to override a default template in a module. As a sample case, think of a shared “sudo” module, with a sudoers template. Different users may have vastly different standards for such a template, but you could distribute a common workable one with the module itself.

A patch to do this is attached. If puppet finds that a file exists in :templatedir, it prefers it. Otherwise, it falls through to the module (and eventually returns the template path anyway, if it can’t do anything else.)
