MOSS/WSS SiteTemplate codes

If you ever tried to use stsadm -o createsite or createweb operations, you come accorss a the -sitetemplate parameter. It actually took me some time to find the accepted values for this, so I compiled all the ones I could find. I haven’t tried them all, so please keep me posted if you find any inaccurate information.
