This makes sense.

I have no problem with xml-site/targets/{project} or the CVS-based system
(except for the binary PDF issue mentioned before, which may be
unavoidable). What is a little frustrating is that it seems like we are only
a short script (checkout, copy -r, commit) away from being able to use the
builds that are being done on icarus (or another apache machine) to update
xml-site/targets/{project}, instead of having to do the documentation builds
locally. Is there some reason why we can't just do a copy here?
