Usage of gen-files:

the config file is a generic JSON file where you can store arbitratry configuration for

	"foo":"bar"
}

the index file contains the files to create:

{
  "files": [
    {
      "from": "foo/Hello.java",
      "to": "{{ .foo }}/World.java"
    },
    {
      "from": "foo/Hello.java",
      "to": "{{ .foo }}2/World.java"
    },
    { ...

the template files and the names of the "to" paths can use go template syntax:
