[PHPTAL] HTTP paths for templates

[Sean Hodges]

Thanks Kornel, I'll try the setSource() approach you mentioned.

The reason I want to load templates via HTTP is that the templates I am 
loading may not be on the same server as PHPTAL. It will also simplify 
redeployment doing it this way.

I will bear in mind that I may have trouble with macros doing it this 
way, however I don't think this will be a problem for me at this point.

Regards,

Sean
