[clnet users] New darcsweb policy.

Hi all.

If you don't use darcs on common-lisp.net nor intend to use it you can
stop reading now.

Julian Stecklina was kind enough to suggest and implement a script
which looks for /project/*/public_html/darcs and automatically creates
a darcsweb config file with all the repositories it finds.  It now
runs as a nightly cronjob so you don't have to ask me to add a
repository to darcsweb anymore, either just create your repository
right there or symlink it in there if you prefer to have it elsewhere.
 I have documented this new behaviour at
common-lisp.net/project-intro.shtml.

Many projects were already doing this but a few were not.  These have
not been migrated as I didn't want to impose the symlink on them
without them being ok with it.  If you're on of the guys whose
repository no longer shows up simply move your repository or add a
symlink and check the page tomorrow.

I hope everyone is ok with the change.  Comments are as always
welcome.  If I could set Reply-To in the Gmail compose window I
would've set it to clo-devel as you that's really the forum for
discussion if that's your goal.

Thanks again to Julian!

Erik.
