I've been considering moving the website into Mambo, actually.  Mambo has a 
plugin that lets you wrap pages, and I could write a simple script to convert 
man pages to html and wrap it.  That would make it possible for you to just 
upload the new man pages over the old ones--not exactly an automated update.  
Now that I think about it, I could probably write up a cronjob that retrieves 
Crimson source from CVS, makes the man pages, and then posts them.  Or even 
just get the raw xml for the man pages and transform them.  (It's not as 
complicated as it sounds)  Just haven't had time to think about it much, let 
alone talk about it, and you know me, when something is thought it's as good 
as said.

On the bright side, it looks like there's a light at the end of the tunnel 
after all, and I might find some time soon to do something *fun* again.  ;)
