DrWatson Collaboration?

Hi, I love this package. I also love DrWatson.jl. Would it make sense to collaborate with DrWatson to automatically make a package all set up for DrWatson awesomeness via a template?

From a quick experiment with DrWatson, it seems that its initialize_project could be quite easily achieved with a PkgTemplates plugin.

at work I made a script for DrWatson that basically sets up a development environment in a new package etc. Not the worlds most useful thing but it installs packages I use for analysis' etc and lets me kick off new projects without the boilerplate. I'm not saying go through all that effort, but, having a thing like that is really handy. Might be worth talking to the DrWatson people (I'm not involved with them at all) about how both these tools could synergize - or make a third tool that just combines them.

again, I love this package just the way it is, but I'm always trying to connect things. whether or not they should be connected is always debateable :P
