I guess I don't know docset so I don't know what to suggest.  

What I think would be best is the main What is mod_perl menu item go
directly to the about.html page.  Then the more>> links go to the sub-pages
that only have an [up] link, to go back to the about.html page.  They don't
have to have prev|next since they are not really related.  In fact, all
that's really needed is a "return to What is mod_perl" with an anchor to
return to the specific paragraph.  But that would be if I was building the
site by hand.

I did a cvs update and tried to apply the patch.  I got

> patch -p0 < pp
patching file src/config.cfg
Hunk #1 FAILED at 14.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/config.cfg.rej

So I then added the patch by hand.  bin/build -f  yet didn't see any
difference.
