Well, I've been planning on reimplementing the way the www/ tree works
to be more in line with the doc/ tree - as in, www/share can store a
common makefile, and if necessary, the www/en, www/ja, and other
language directories can have their overriding makefiles.

I suppose I've just brought it up - is there a more appropriate place or
people to talk about the www/ tree, and does anyone particularly mind if
I touch lots of files "fixing" the location of web.mk?
