The application layout uses PROJECT_NAME.humanize. We should either remove this or set PROJECT_NAME in environment.rb during script/create_project

Add validates_email_format_of to vendor/gems:

and maybe Cucumber. Cuke has binary dependencies, however.

I don't like how create_project always creates your new project in the same directory as you installed suspenders. How does it know that's where I want it? What if I did something you didn't expect like installed suspenders to my ~/bin dir or what if I organize my rails apps by client or something and I want to specify the directory where the new app should be created?

So I propose that create_project be made to accept a path to the app you want to create, just like the rails command it is designed to replace does:
Usage: rails /path/to/your/app [options]

I propose that a --base-dir option (and SUSPENDERS_BASE_DIR environment variable) be added to let you change the default base directory.

I propose that a --template option be added to use a repository other than git://github.com/thoughtbot/suspenders.git. I used this to point it to my development repository on localhost for testing. It could also be used if you had made some customizations to the template that you wanted to be used.

I propose that a --user/--password option be added so that the config/database.yml that gets generated actually works "out of the box". One reason this is important is so that the 'script/generate clearance' step doesn't fail.

The only way I was even able to know that that step had failed was by adding a "verbose" option which caused the output of that command to be displayed:

Running 'script/generate clearance'
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

So I propose a --verbose option for users that want to see what's going on behind their backs. Actually, perhaps this should be the new default (and a --quiet option added to suppress it).

Why? Because some commands produce output that give further instructions for finishing the installation:

Ok, enough fancy automatic stuff. Time for some old school monkey copy-pasting.

script/generate clearance, for example, gave this instructions, which the user otherwise would not see:
1. Define a HOST constant in your environments files.
In config/environments/test.rb and config/environments/development.rb it can be:
...

By making these options env variables, you can set them once in your .bashrc and forget about them. Or you can use the normal CLI options for one-off switching of options.

The changes I have described are available in my GitHub fork of this project.

after creating a project using suspenders and without doing a single thing, rake default will fail reporting it could not find a gem (in my case, term-ansicolor). of course installing the gem using the standard gem command works, but doesn't that defeat most of the purpose of frozen gems?

Steps:

./script/create_project bug
cd ../bug
rake db:migrate # for clearance
rake

will fail with:

meanwhile it seems the gems are detected just fine using rake gems RAILS_ENV=cucumber
