Dear Vincent,
The second option looks good. Actually I would tend to use the same
convention as the various python/python2/python3/python2.7/python3.x
symlinks. Alternatively you could think of using the alternatives
system to let the local admin decide which implementation should be
the local default.
However I note that the name of the executable is "compute_template"?
sound quite generic to me...
