[Vimcdoc-translate] replacement of the makefile system

[Simon L. <wzh...@sp...>]

All,

If you havn't updated your sandbox, please do it now.
In an effort to make my life (an hopefully others) 
easier :-), I've been playing with Bram's new toy - aap
 for a while. I am now coming to a stage where it can be
 used to more or less replace those Makefiles. 

I've checked in three file:
data/common.aap
data/doc/main.aap
data/doc/vim2html.pl

These at this moment only handles automatic updating 
of the HTML version of the translation for both sites
(wandys have to patch the recipe for cosoft). I've tested
it with pi_gzip.txt (forgot to mention this) and it
looks OK so far. 

I'd like to suggest you to install aap (http://www.a-a-p.org)
and give it a try. It won't hurt you. After the installation, 
the first thing you have to do to use it is to modify the
common.aap to use your own sf handle. Then goto data/doc and try this:
- 'aap' will tell you what you can do
- 'aap <filename.txt>' will check in your change to that file
and generate HTML version and copy it to the remote server.

Quite easy isn't it?

Several things:
1. aap uses python so you need that.
2. Backup your precious translation as this is still in testing.
   You have been warned!
2. The recipe are only tested under Linux though aap is supposed
   to be crossplatform. You can try it under windows if you like
   and let me know the result.

I think that is it. Any feedback more than welcomed!

Have fun.

ps. for wandys,
In the unlikely event that you don't want to try, could you please 
patch the common.app so that the path for cosoft is correct. Thanks,
