I've wanted to make a static site generator generator for a while. Run the script and out comes another script with a wicked cool name that uses one of the many markup options, header formats, and templating engines (either manually or randomly selected).

Somebody, please make this.

I probably failed to understand what you described but recently found out about Nikola[1] while looking for publishing solution supporting Org mode.

It does support multiple input formats and at least Jinja2 and Mako for templating:

Hakyll supports anything that pandoc supports, so it does both org mode and markdown :-)

I've actually written this http://www.camoy.info/modoc/

Haha. I did this with kung fu styles, wrote a little script that chooses a name, theme, and logo description. It'd be funny to see one for static site generators.
