Docs problems?

I've gotten 4 such reports this morning. Does someone here know 
what might have changes? If not, I'll try to get some time to check 
this later today.

Please CC me a personal copy if you resolve this. My sky is falling 
today.

The link to the search page from http://www.apache.org/docs is broken.
It points to http://www.apache.org/manual-index/docs which the server
can't find.

I think there's a content-negotiation and MultiViews problem with the
latest 1.3a2-dev.  I updated last night and started seeing some funkiness
related to when multiviews needs to make a choice between two files to send
out.  In this case, there is a "manual-index.cgi", a "manual-index.dat",
and a "manual-index.dat.old".  I fixed this for now by making the call to
"manual-index.cgi" explicit, but we should look into this.  On the other
hand, it is really bad practice to have the data file and the CGI script
share the same basename in the same directory, and ask the server to
negotiate between them.  Ken, could you fix this?
