Well, you could change the common_dir attribute, but then that would
affect all of these builtin default definitions (from htcommon/default.cc):

    {"bad_word_list", "${common_dir}/bad_words"},
    {"endings_affix_file", "${common_dir}/english.aff"},
    {"endings_dictionary", "${common_dir}/english.0"},
    {"endings_root2word_db", "${common_dir}/root2word.db"},
    {"endings_word2root_db", "${common_dir}/word2root.db"},
    {"nothing_found_file", "${common_dir}/nomatch.html"},
    {"search_results_footer", "${common_dir}/footer.html"},
    {"search_results_header", "${common_dir}/header.html"},
    {"synonym_db", "${common_dir}/synonyms.db"},
    {"synonym_dictionary", "${common_dir}/synonyms"},
    {"syntax_error_file", "${common_dir}/syntax.html"},

It would make a lot of sense to define search_results_header,
search_results_footer, nothing_found_file, syntax_error_file (and
optionally, search_results_wrapper) as ${template_dir}/whatever.html and
then you could change them all by changing template_dir, but that's not
done by default right now.
