I have now removed all the old website files.  It's amazing how that removal
has substantially simplified the www subdirectory of our source tree.
(Another way of saying this is PHP and CSS is powerful so a few files gets
the job done compared to the many files required for the old website.)

I have done some fairly thorough checking that this mass removal has not
compromised any part of the current website, but let me know if you spot
anything that is missing.

I have made two substantial improvements to the current website.

(1) I have rewritten the documentation section and corrected the PHP filesize
calculations for that page.

(2) I made some changes so that we get a clean bill of health from the W3C
validator for the pages of our website. This last improvement means
virtually all browsers should be able to render the pages of our website
without difficulty.  Of course, let me know if any rendering issues remain
for your browser of choice.

Two known issues remain with the current website.

(1) The Credits section still is a copy of the out-dated language of the 
Credits section of the old website. Werner has told me he is working on
rewriting this section.

(2) The new Development section is currently a place holder.  We will either
hide it or populate it in the next little while.

If there are any other issues with the current website
(http://plplot.sourceforge.net), please let me know.
