Roundup is wonderfully customizable.  It's not hard to do, either,
(though of course there is a learning curve).  I built an issue
tracker for my business with per-customer queues, consultant logins,
and time tracking in about two days of work starting from vanilla
roundup.

The hardest part is debugging the TAL when you make a mistake, but
even that isn't a whole lot worse than any other templating language.
