Issue Summary
Tried searching for this, but I didn't see it.
Certain modules like contemplate allow large blocks of HTML/PHP to be stored as files instead of in the database/web interface as text area blocks. Having an option to store the various front pages as files would allow for better version control and promoting material from a development to a live server.
I'm not entirely sure where the files would be stored. I think contemplate stored them in a subdirectory in the theme.
It may not be easy, but I'd sure like this feature, so I thought I would suggest it. Any chance it might happen?

I'm trying to introduce a set of drupal_alter hooks so that modules could be written to provide functionality like this without them actually being included as core to front page module. Hopefully this should come in the next couple of months.
Cheers,
Tim
