Hi folks --

I've just released these. Change logs are below.  Note that the EtText
release adds no features; it just makes it CPAN compliant, so those of you
who already have Text::EtText 1.1 installed, no need to get 1.2.

WebMake's a different matter though. 1.2 is much faster ;)

WebMake changes:

	- major, major changes for partial site rebuilds, due to fixing a
	  pretty basic dependency-tracking bug. oops.  It's a **LOT**
	  faster now.

	- WebMake is generally faster at building indices and sitemaps
	  after a bit of rearchitecture to separate metadata content from
	  normal content items.

	- unfortunately, IO::String module is now required to use the
	  <{perlout}> tag; otherwise it runs into a deadlock on Linux :(

	- <metatable> tag extended to support XML input, and load from
	  external sources using the "src" attribute.

	- added <navtree> plugin from Jan Hudec.

	- added "webmake.cgi" code, for an edit-in-browser CGI script.  It
	  doesn't quite work yet ;)

	- media items now also create content items, allowing metadata to
	  be tagged to them.

	- revised the documentation a little, documented <cache> and
	  <option> webmake tags.

	- the modules were not quite CPAN-compliant. this is now fixed.

EtText changes:

	- the modules were not quite CPAN-compliant. this is now fixed.
