Hi All

For waaay too long I've been working on changing the release system.
Well, "working" isn't really the right word as I haven't actually done
much work due to lack of time.

To those that don't remember, the reason why we don't allow individual
package maintainers to release their packages when it suits them, is
that the HTML generation is from the old monolithic days. This means
that the current system needs to generate the HTML pages for _all_
packages at once.

Carlo and myself have been working on changing this, such that HTML
pages can be generated for individual packages. The code for this is
available in the 'generate_html' package.

For a long time essential parts of this code has been incomplete, but
I've recently been taking a stab at this once more. You can check out
the results at

  http://octave.sf.net/test

This test site is only showing three packages (the ones I happened to
have installed). It is also missing a bunch of stuff:

  * Doxygen documentation.
  * The Octave manual.
  * The help texts of all functions that come with core Octave.

Do you have any comments on this page? I've made some changes here and
there to simplify the HTML generation; I hope I haven't changed anything
that people cared about (if so, speak up).

Søren
