[development] Naming a module's view template

[jeff at ayendesigns.com]

And here I was worrying about the naming (my reference to thinking it hadn't changed) -- I thought I had heard that the need for explicit file entries removed the need for the hook. <Buzzer> wrong!  Thanks!

The answer to this question lies in the advanced help for Views.

Getting your module to provide a theme template for a view is not
automatic. You must register this via hook_theme().
