The procedure was partly commited to CVS. I've just cleaned it up, and
committed the last bit right now. So a "cvs update" in tests/ subdir will be
needed. Note also that you will need the libgd-dev package for rigmatrix
to compile.

Okay, so here's the procedure:

1. Compile hamlib locally
2. cd tests ; make rigmatrix.html
3. scp -r sup-info/* use...@sh...:/home/groups/h/ha/hamlib/htdocs/sup-info/.

I've just updated the files. Tom, can you check if the updated
information shows up? From now on, the procedure should be done upon
each hamlib release. Nate, do you have a schedule for the next one?
