Those first 3 steps are done now; the new xml and stylesheests are in
CVS, a cron job does a "cvs update" in the directory that serves
"newsite.openmcl.clozure.com" every hour on the hour, and does a make
in that directory 5 minutes later.

The Makefile currently tries to rebuild everything (whether it's out of
date or not), and that takes a few minutes; by about 10 minutes past the
hour, the .html files on the server (and the .tbz archive) should reflect
the .xml source that's in CVS.

I tweaked the Makefile (and one of the catalog files) so that things would
build on clozure (which is running FreeBSD); hopefully, it'll still work
with Darwin and Fink-based XML tools.
