I've done a similar thing before, and no you don't have to sprinkle
client-choosing logic throughout your views. What we did, to enable
mobile-friendly views IF the client was on the mobile domain, was to
check the domain and, if it was the mobile one, simply prepend a
mobile-friendly dir onto the view path. That included the layout,
which specified the mobile version of the css. What you could do is
check the domain and prepend a client-specific dir. Very simple and
efficient, especially if you ONLY put in those dirs the things that
absolutely MUST change, while everything else remains the same and is
drawn from the common dir.
