Scizzo asked me to pitch-in on the discussion here, so here's some
additional info.

I think we've expected to eliminate the SSI stuff that is currently
in place.  At least I've already written a small SSI preprocessor
that peforms the include substitutions, as well as variable
definitions and interpolation.  It is included in the cvs tree as
programmatic/tools/ssi-pp.py, although I don't think it has been used.

There are also two programmes which substitute one string for another.
One, programmatic/tools/subst.py works on arbitrary text files, the
other, programmatic/tools/rewrite.py, only on well-formed xml files.
The one that works on arbitrary text files is relatively new, and so I
don't think it is being used very much.

The xml file "substituter" insists, first of all, on a well-formed xml
document.  So it can be used as a GO/NO-GO test on input files.  Secondly,
it will substitute any attribute and it's value with a definition of both
an attribute name and value.  This let's you not only rewrite attribute
values (eg URLs) but their attribute names as well.

A mechanism for recognising bug references has been implemented, but
not integrated into any of the programmes above.

The site is in good shape, despite comments otherwise.  It's easy to be
a critic.
