Allow to parameterize templates by ApplicationPath

[intellifactory-bb]

In addition to the built-in "scripts" variable that expands to WebSharper resource imports, it would be helpful to have a "root" variable that would expand to the ApplicationPath. Such a variable would allow templates to work regardless of the deployment path, in both root and virtual-directory deployments. A common situation is the need to reference a CSS file, which could then be accomplished thus:

#!html
<link href="${root}/themes/site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

I would make this more general and allow placeholders (of type string) in attribute values. This way we wouldn't have to introduce another hard coded variable name.

But we already have them. ${ROOT} is exactly such a placeholder. It's user-definable (and re-definable).
