Please dont' interpret lack of response as unfriendly.

All the people here work on Catalyst either in their spare time, or 
sporadically when they are at work if there is a good work justification 
to get a feature fixed.

Lack of response means that people didn't unfortunately have time to 
download and evaluate your example. You can sometimes help this by 
'lowering the bar' : e.g. are you in a position to stick a running 
example of what is produced by your scaffolding scripts on a publically 
accessible website? If you did, I bet more people would try it.
