manual/expand.pl
Do we need the script manual/expand.pl anymore? If not, I would like to kill
it. The script expands all the ssi includes in the old html-files, but since
we switched to xml it seems useless.
Any objections?

expand.pl is used by the release-manager when rolling httpd-2.0
tarballs. The point is to allow users to be able to use their local
copy of the manual without needing SSI enabled.
In truth, it is pretty pointless now, because the manual does not work
unless it is accessed through the web server with MultiViews enabled.
But let's keep it around until the xml conversion is finished and we
can update the release process accordingly.

Sure, the xml-conversion isn't finished yet, but do we *need* expand.pl
for the rest of the old files? Well, I'll keep it for now :-)

Only that we haven't actually finished converting to xml yet. There are
still quite a few files left. Everything in vhosts/ and platform/ and
some of howto/ come to mind.
I'm hoping that once we get the new style committed, it will give us a
little more incentive to finish converting so that everything will look
the same.
