The only problem I see with moving the build.properties file into the
project (rather than copying it) and also making the user go through
the setup questionnaire (rather than using two steps) is that people
like me (and perhaps Jay) who are generating about 10 - 20 seam-gen
projects a day enjoy the fact that I can run over and over again:

seam delete-project create-project generate restart

Once I get the build.properties file in place, then I can just churn
out the project. So if we combine setup and create-project, we would
need to leave behind build.properties and then have a quiet switch
that would suppress the questionnaire:

seam -q delete-project create-project generate restart
