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Also, some *very* out-of-date files have been removed from the /doc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

    1: 
    2: LON-CAPA provides three types of resources for organizing your course website.
    3: LON-CAPA refers to these resources as Content Pages, Problems, and Maps.
    4: Maps may be either of two types: Sequences or Pages. You will use these LON-CAPA
    5: resources to build the outline, or structure, for the presentation of your
    6: course to your students.

    8: \begin{itemize}
    9: \item A \textbf{Content Page}\index{Content Page} displays course content. It
   10: is essentially a conventional HTML page. These resources use the extension
   11: {}``.html''.
   12: \item A \textbf{Problem}\index{Problem} resource represents problems for the students
   13: to solve, with answers stored in the system. These resources are stored in
   14: files that must use the extension {}``.problem''.
   15: \item A \textbf{Sequence}\index{Sequence} is a type of \textbf{Map}\index{Map}
   16: which is used to link other resources together. The users of this resource
   17: can use directional buttons on their remote or the NAV button to follow the
   18: sequence. Sequences are stored in files that must use the extension {}``.sequence''.
   19: Sequences can contain other sequences and pages.
   20: \item A \textbf{Page}\index{Page} is a type of \textbf{Map\index{Map}} which
   21: is used to join other resources together into one HTML page. For example,
   22: a page of problems will appears as a problem set. These resources are stored
   23: in files that must use the extension {}``.page''.
