I think james is on to something maybe - alternately - screw the existing solutions for now - its more important your CORE system works. Can you use the "Wizard" thingy to make a template projecty - that demo with the spinning sphere's ... look like colored eggs turning slowly?
That is a good starting point.
Also - I never cared but in (I think the sticky's) there was some chatter about the INSTALL SCRIPT for DarkGDK in languages other than English and I know TGC was paying close attention to this for awhile as its hard to test on dif language computers when you speak one language etc etc.
Hope this sparks an Idea - (Its sad - I'm German blood and can't read but only the simplist words in German
)
