"build forrest" works (was [proposal] add Forrest binaries to our CVS)

Hi Stephan,

Works here, even though it takes 13 minutes on my powerbook G4.
It's a small step for man...you know the story ;-)

Two issues that I noticed (not to be picky, just writing them down in 
case someone wants to work on fixes):

-docs/installing/jars.html says "if you see this message, somethings 
wrong with the build!."

-links from docs/faq/index.html work but show empty pages

Thanks for your work!

I've just committed a fix for that in Forrest CVS.  Forrest 0.4 assumes
all FAQs are called 'faq.html'.  In 0.5 this is parametrizable from a
'controller' sitemap.

There are probably going to be many other small things like this that
need fixing directly in Forrest.  For example:
 - there's a Docbook file that could be rendered with Forrest CVS, but
   not with 0.4.
 - CVS Forrest can convert v10 DTD files to v11 format on the fly.

IOW, while Forrest 0.4 does mostly work, the bits that don't need to be
fixed in 0.5.
