Once we move them all into CVS it shouldn't be hard to cross-reference
them from the docs, right? Shouldn't it be identical to how the Tests
are done currently? Aashish is working on making the wiki simply fetch
the content from the CVS, so, if that works, we don't have to make the
docs cross-reference the wiki, only the cvs.
