Much progress today:

• Wrote some XSLT to populate the metadata page. Still very crude; should actually be hand-written content from EGW.
• Fixed the remaining four reference errors from the diagnostics.
• Rewrote the diagnostics so they link to the current product rather than to the old site.
• Parameterized the build process so that it can either link (as up to now) to images remotely on graves.uvic.ca, or use local copies of images, which are then built into the XAR file. This can be controlled by a command-line switch.
• Put a built copy of the site on the web for crawling; CD will have it crawl both the original and the new, and we'll see what the differences are.
• Tested the new search on the Myths install of eXist, and THE SEARCH FAILS. Trying to find out what the differences might be between that instance and my local one. In the long run this is not a problem -- we'll deploy with a known-good eXist containing no other projects -- but this is puzzling.
