[GRASS5] [bug #2718] (grass) man pages such as g.list gone

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=2718
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I never expected you to wipe out the g.list man page in 5.7.
You had me tinkering around with $MANPATH for 1/2 hour before I
realized it. Not sure how many other innocent man pages are gone too.
Hmm, no man pages for v.segment, etc. etc.

Nobody wiped out any MAN page.

You had me tinkering around with $MANPATH for 1/2 hour before I
realized it. Not sure how many other innocent man pages are gone too.
Hmm, no man pages for v.segment, etc. etc.

Took me more than 1/2h to identify the problem. Since the MAN
pages are derived from the HTML pages, check first, if the HTML
page is ok. Otherwise there won't be a MAN page.

I have now:
- modified the concept of generating HTML pages in a temporary
  session ("fake session" which is in fact a true session now)
- fixed the GDAL installation on grass.itc.it
- generated a new GRASS 5.7 Linux binary snapshot (no more OGDI
  dependencies)
- above fixed the broken online HTML manual pages as well

Keep in mind that 5.7 is EXPERIMENTAL.
Otherwise wait for 6.0.
