Those releases worked for some people and not others

Another idea: the web tree can have Makefile.am, managed by 
monitor-core/configure.in and that can be the official release and 
packaging mechanism

But for those who want to make standalone builds, the web/Makefile can 
be renamed as web/Makefile.standalone and executed manually

make -f Makefile.standalone

It has resulted in a review of past processes, more wiki documentation, 
and I think we have now reached the point where I can build the Solaris 
packages again, these are all good outcomes that the project can build on
