I'm happy to report success in the first step of automatically
generating output tree documentation from the source tree. I have a
(pair of) script(s) that can now process all 513 (curious number) of
our repository documents [0].
The first draft of tooling that satisfies step 1, automation is now
in my github.com repo (newest version not yet to tLDP repo).

This will need to wait until Serge returns, and anyway, I think
steps 2. and 3. should be reversed; deployment after preparation and
cleanup of the output tree.
> 3. cleanup: Simplify, revise and prune the output tree.
Next week, I will spend some time on cleanup.
Enjoy your weekends, all,
-Martin
