Either your definition of MVC is different from mine, or Smarty has
become a lot more than just a templating language since I last looked
at it.  A templating language is not an MVC framework, and an MVC
framework doesn't necessarily consist of a templating language (unless
you count native PHP code as a templating language).  Also, it's
possible (and a Good Thing) to incorporate MVC principles into your
site, even if you aren't using an MVC framework.
