fully implement the bert skin

The new skin seems ready to become the default skin
for building the Forrest site and the local docs.

Recently a parameter use.skin=bert was added to build.xml
to make the 'bert' skin the default. However we need to
do a bit more than that. The resources/skins/bert/* needs
to replace resources/skins/forrest-site/*

How do we do that while retaining the CVS history of both, yet
not leaving old directories lying around which may confuse?

Is there anything in the old 'forrest-site' that we want to
keep? It seems not.

Thanks, good to hear that. Mine is fixed now too. There
was an invisible local backup file of book2menu.xsl that
was preventing the -Prune ... fixed now.

Did anyone else have the same trouble? When you updated,
was the empty "bert directory" properly removed from your
working copy?

As you would have seen from the commit messages, i have
patched the original "forrest-site" skin to reflect the
changes from the new "bert" skin. So now forrest-site is
the default again.

The bert skin has been "cvs remove", so if you have any
outstanding changes then please add them to the forrest-site
skin instead.

However, there is one strange thing ...
I expected that "cvs update -P xml-forrest" would remove
the skins/bert from the local working copy, but it does not.

I confirm this.  I started creating the Bert skin using the files in the 
Forrest skin directory.  So everything that *was* in there is in the Bert 
skin too.  Provided it's not updated yet of course.

I was thinking of copying files over from the bert skin to forrest-site, 
  and removing those use.skin=bert from places and cvs-removing the bert 
directory afterwards...

we could swap things repository-side but I'm not too keen on that

not that I know of.
