This is an important change that I want to make, so please let me know 
if don't feel comfortable with my proposal.

I've developed a package that can handle a docset of sources (in pod and 
html currently, more formats to come) and generate an output in 
html/ps/pdf (more formats to come). It should be very simple to manage 
the source docset. The docsets can be nested.

Therefore I propose to merge documentation with mod_perl site and make 
it one source docset, which is all properly linked and has an easy 
navigation and buildable from one spot. That's why I suggest to remove 
the modperl-site cvs repository and add the few docs from the site that 
we have to the modperl-docs rep. Alternatively, we can nest modperl-docs 
rep inside modperl-site rep on checkout.

Currently to update the site we do:
   on our machines:
   1. cvs up
   2. apply changes
   3. cvs ci
   on apache.org:
   4. cvs up

With my proposal we will have to do:
   on our machines:
   1. cvs up
   2. apply changes
   3. cvs ci
   on apache.org:
   4. cvs up
   5. bin/build

so there is one extra step to do. Is this OK?

issues:

   - need to install TemplateToolkit and a few other packages on 
apache.org :( I guess we can do it locally, I don't want to pester Brian.
   - the package handles links so we have no problem linking to e.g. 
perl.apache.org/dist/
   - embperl site, I suppose it can be folded into the docset, if Gerald 
doesn't mind.
   - anything else?

p.s. please don't ask me about the code, as soon as I put it in a better 
shape, I'll announce it here:
