This commit implements the .tex-based online help system in LON-CAPA. It
may be necessary to manually run loncom/build/help_graphics_converter.pl
and doc/help/rebuildLabelHash.pl after a cvs update, and
loncapa_apache.conf may need to be manually copied to /etc. (The
loncapafiles.lpml has been updated.)

After merging this, the URL http://[loncapahost]/adm/help/Foils.hlp
should display a help file.

Also, some *very* out-of-date files have been removed from the /doc
directory.

If you're following this as a tutorial, go ahead and make one of each of
these problem types now. We'll be using them later as raw material to assemble
maps and sequences.

While several problem types are listed here, in LON-CAPA, all problems are
actually the same. All problems are written in XML, which can be obtained
and edited with the \textbf{EditXML} button you'll see. The problem types
listed in this manual are actually just templates. As your knowledge advances,
you may wish to play with the XML representation directly to see what you
can do.
