I still want to figure out how to do this in a way that doesn't involve
modifying manually the documentation HTML version pages of every new
version, but I'll do it that way this time.

Thanks! :-) I'll keep making changes to improve the look&feel, but I won't
change the colors until the gnome-web team completes the design of the new
web. They are trying to unify the look of all gnome related webs, which I
believe is a good purpose so I'll try to help with the gnome-web (unles
you think I shouldn't).

If you believe what I've already done is ready to be published I'll commit
it to CVS (I still need an account). Then I'll start working to make it
easy to add news, new documentation, etc...
