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.
