Probably the best way to understand the concept of webtemp*.xml is to create couple of custom site definitions. Recently I stumbled upon a great blog entry from Bill Baer, I wish I had access to this information last year, when I was playing with Site definitions. Below is the excerpt from http://blogs.technet.com/wbaer/archive/2007/03/25/understanding-webtemp-xml.aspx
