[Spam] [bbDev] templates dir

[Aditya Naik]

if thats the case then we should not even scan the bb-templates - unless we
are planning to ship more than one template with the basic bbpress download.


if not we should move everything from kakumei directly into bb-templates and
let people use my-templates for custom templates..

any thoughts?
