buildpages script for www.gnu.org/software/hurd

[Reinhard Mueller]

Hi all,

As announced, here is a proof of concept for a bash script to build the
HTML pages for hurd.gnu.org, as well as some sample files on how it
would be used.

The idea is, that the src/ directory contains:
* header.html - the header that is included at the very start of every
English page, including the menu and all such stuff.
* header.de.html - the header that is included at the very start of
every German page, including the menu and all such stuff
* header.??.html - the header that is included at the very start of
every page in language ??
* footer[.??].html - the footer of HTML pages
* <pagename>[.??].html - the content of the page <pagename> in the given
language, for example whatsnew.de.html or whatsnew.html for English.

The "buildpage" script rebuilds a single page from the building blocks
in the src directory.
The "buildpages" script rebuilds all pages of which the building blocks
are available in the src directory.

Special treatment: If the header or the footer contain the string "<!--
Languages -->", that part is replaced by a (GNU webpage style) list of
links to all languages in which the respective page is available. The
"buildpage" scripts automagically checks which other languages are
available for a given page and only generates links to translations that
really exist.

Still todo: some special treatment for the <TITLE> tag.

Comments are welcome. Please tell me if you think this is worth
developing further.

And yes, I really believe you can do *anything* in a shell script :-)

Thanks,
Reinhard
