faq

1. how do i customize wrench?

the project structure, and add/remove templates.  template files are found in
wrench/lib/wrench/templates and stored as erbs.  at this point a wrench
gem will need to be rebuilt or the local wrench gem repository will need to
be modified for any customization.  there are plans to provide wrench
customization without having to modify the core source and rebuild gems in
the next iteration.``` 
2.  why wrench, doesn't rails essentially do the same thing?
```rails, bundler, and many other projects also help to create skeletal apps
for easier development based on DRY principles.  while these are great tools, i needed
something simpler and more flexible which is how wrench came to be.```
