I'll go the other route than most of the responses I've seen (altho
haven't read everything in the thread it has been a fair fraction). If
you standardize the sizes and do it as a production run w/, say, a
square rail/stile, you could do conventional doors in a very short time
and have a much nicer product in the end...

Amana and several others makes a mission-style cutter set that I like
since I have 3/4"|1" spindle shaper but you can do it all w/ just the
tablesaw as well...

They square up automagically on assembly if simply make sure the ends
are cut square. I use wide stock wide enough for 3 or 4 at a time then
rip to width and groove. Again, pick a few standard sizes and they can
be turned out en masse...I've made such for shop and other
not-for-prime-time use out of just standard one-by shelving stock and
fir ply or even masonite/hardboard and w/ a coat of paint they're very
presentable...
