I feel that I'm sick of being yanked around on update-method-du-jour.
This process has gone through at least the following mutations:

1. Site kept in Forrest, can be generated locally and then result
   committed.  Process semi-documented.
2. Site kept in Forrest, but can only be generated locally IFF the
   deities of development smiled on you and you had a back-level
   version of Forrest installed locally.  Change not documented.
3. Site kept in Forrest, environment set up on Web system for generation --
   complex process, but documented.
4. Site moved to Subversion.
5. Site no longer in Forrest, generation process unknown, update process
   unknown.

I don't really care what the method is, as long as a) it's persistently
readable (the argument against Cwikiness); b) the process is clearly
documented; and c) it *stops changing*.

Maybe the Cwiki format is a dead end.  And maybe the TEMP_HTML files
can be edited with any text editor.  But the process of generating
the TEMP_HTML files from the Cwiki files is still unclear.
