A simple way to copy the default generator templates is needed

DRYied up the code a little, removed the rubygems reference, now using FILE to lookup the directory, and using cp_r to simplify file copy.
Any other suggestions are welcome.

I like this idea.

When I apply this patch it gives me errors for the mailer and I think the code can be cleaned up a bit. I also think this Rake task should be under the rails namespace.

So I refactored the patch and I have tested it manually on a new application.

It seems that the erb templates are not used by the "rails g" command, is that correct? Maybe we can remove those from the code? and make it more simple?

erb templates are used by rails g command.

I would like to credit Urubatan in this patch as well.
Jeroen, is it ok if I change the author to "Jeroen van Dijk + Rodrigo Urubatan" so you both get the credit?

For the record, as said on IRC, thats ok Jose! Thanks
