Attached is a patch that makes monodoc.ashx fix the <a> links on the server side instead of using javascript on the client side.
Advantages:
* Will (hopefully) make the docs Google-able (spiders don't do javascript).
* It should also make it possible to use htdig or swish-e to index and search the docs.
* Documents are browseable from lynx now
* prefix munging no longer neccesary for non-IE browsers.
Disadvanges: * More processing on server. * Uses regex instead of DOM.
