Hmm. Now I'm wondering if I had a half-built doc tree, with the
remains of Jan's "@node lower-case" stuff. I cleared out
Docuemtnation/out-www/, but I didn't think to touch out/xref-maps.

As it happens, I almost finished this task while at a conference
earlier this week. I'll take care of this.

Oh, I definitely *have* been casting dirty looks. At pretty much
everybody *apart from* the lilypond-texi2html people... I don't
like perl, but they didn't have any choice about that. But this
file is excellently documented.

Instead of doing texi2html init files, could you check that the
translation infrastructure is working? In particular,
- we now have web.texi
- web.texi now goes into web/
- index.html.in just redirects to web/
This *should* make everything much easier -- all manuals are
split, all manuals are in separate directories, etc. I *think*
that I've un-hacked the relevant translation stuff, but I'm not
certain about that.
Could you check this stuff, maybe translate one sentence on half a
dozen nodes inside Documentation/fr/web/*.itexi for testing, etc
etc ?
I don't really know where we stand on waf; I've spent 20 hours so
far, and I'm not enthusiastic. But I definitely think we should
get the stepmake system working again, with translations. waf
isn't going to be ready before 2.14, and in any case I want people
to be translating web.texi ASAP.
Cheers,
