--------------------------------------

Excellent idea, a nice and flexible a way to override arbitrary jspwiki properties during the start of the JVM.

+1 from me

> It would be nice if we could override the properties currently specified in jspwiki.properties from System.properties.  This would allow the ability to have templates, skins and some configuration external to core jspwiki making upgrading a much easier proposition.
> I'd suggest something simple such as replacing: 
> m_templateDir    = TextUtil.getStringProperty( props, PROP_TEMPLATEDIR, "default" );
> in WikiEngine with something like:
> m_templateDir    = TextUtil.getStringProperty( System.getProperties(), PROP_TEMPLATEDIR, TextUtil.getStringProperty( props, PROP_TEMPLATEDIR, "default" ));
> For all properties defined in jspwiki.properties
