Add the ardour manual converted to docbook format with only a few minor

additions.

Add dbhelper.vim key stroke mappings I use for working with docbook source.

There are no xsl or css files for customizing the html output so it will 
look really boring...this will only be temporary.

Support for content localization and generation of pdf's is planned.

+	<para>
+		Ardour allows you to create templates that specify the number of
+		tracks and busses, the I/O configuration and other aspects of the
+		session. When creating a new session, you can specify a template and it
+		will be created to match the template settings. To create a template,
+		you will need to be working on an existing session. Make sure that the
+		session is setup to in exactly the way you would like the template to
+		be. Choose 
+		<menuchoice>
+			<guimenu>Session</guimenu>
+			<guisubmenu>Save Template</guisubmenu>
+		</menuchoice>.

+	<para>
+		To open the Save Template dialog enter a name for the template and click 
+		<guibutton>Save</guibutton> or 
+		<keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>S</keycap></keycombo> to store
+		the template using the current session configuration. Templates are 
+		basically session files without any audio data references. They are 
+		stored in your <filename>.ardour</filename> folder.

+			button, and then click on the name of the template you would like to
