At the moment, it takes a lot of busy work to get the website updated
with changes to the repository: any time directories changes around,
or new files are added, I have to muck with the site to keep things
working. (adding .html files that point into the repository, renaming
them to keep things in sync, etc.)

We have a 'make html' target inside parrot itself. I think the
easiest way to keep things in sync for now is to have a directory on
the site that is basically a checked in version of the docs/html
directory after running make html. This puts all the logic in once
place (parrot's tools/docs/write_docs.pl), and then website
maintenance is "run this script and checkin the diffs."

Maybe we can have docs for latest release and "svn head" which would
really be "svn-whenever-will-updated-last". (This is the only flaw in
the plan: the current scheme lets individual docs update
transparently against head; even though it doesn't track renames, etc.)

Anyone have any better ideas?
