After I've seen Martin's example, I'm still not convinced MoinMoin is
the solution. :-P
I see the solution rather as a Web CVS frontend which is _like_ a wiki
but instead works straight with CVS repository (e.g., online editing).
Maybe strictly documentation-oriented, and with some server-side hooks
to update it's own working copy as soon as someone does a commit, for
performance sake.
We then retain all the backward compatibility and still have all
oldschool ways to manage the documentation. And no need for conversion
at all.

Every solution will require some work.
