Added a better generator for scaffolding that actually creates the code, so it can be edited bit by bit. See "script/generate scaffold" [bitsweat]. Added a whole new approach to generators that used the shared "script/generate" command. Run with no-args to see help [bitsweat].

+NAME
+     new_controller - create controller and view stub files
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     new_controller ControllerName action [action ...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     The new_controller generator takes the name of the new controller as the
+     first argument and a variable number of view names as subsequent arguments.
+     The controller name should be supplied without a "Controller" suffix. The
+     generator will add that itself.
+     
+     From the passed arguments, new_controller generates a controller file in
+     app/controllers with a render action for each of the view names passed.
+     It then creates a controller test suite in test/functional with one failing
+     test case. Finally, it creates an HTML stub for each of the view names in
+     app/views under a directory with the same name as the controller.
+     
+EXAMPLE
+     new_controller Blog list display new edit
+     
+     This will generate a BlogController class in
+     app/controllers/blog_controller.rb, a BlogHelper class in
+     app/helpers/blog_helper.rb and a BlogControllerTest in
+     test/functional/blog_controller_test.rb. It will also create list.rhtml,
+     display.rhtml, new.rhtml, and edit.rhtml in app/views/blog.
+     
+     The BlogController class will have the following methods: list, display, new, edit.
+     Each will default to render the associated template file.
