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Also, some *very* out-of-date files have been removed from the /doc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

You can use variables in the \textbf{Answer} part of the question, too. This
means you can compute an answer to a question, which we'll see in a bit.
If you set the answer of the question to be \textbf{\$variable}, \textbf{Save
Changes} and \textbf{View} it, you'll see that LON-CAPA is now expecting
{}``3.0'' as the answer, plus or minus 5\%.
