I have a home-grown solution created for our "TT2 based" application 
server (just a framework with FCGI binding, actually), which uses 
pre-parsing. It uses the usual key=>text mapping, like:

xxx.tem:   ( <= this is the template )
...
{{main_title}}
...

xxx.lang:    ( <= this is the language file )
...
main_title:This is the main title
**
...

The good thing is that preparsing is taking place before TT2 actually 
compiles the template, so there is no overhead.

The bad thing is that it does not make too much sense to use our (GNU) 
module standalone, but as a part of the whole framework (where it is 
only a parameter in the config file).
