barnboy%trilobyte.net 397168f490 Added .htaccess files for shadow/, data/, and /. 
I added related information to the Bugzilla Guide, and
tacked in a couple of last-minute additions.  Also fixed the
annoying "Tip: HINT:" thing.

>Took way too long to revise this for 2.12 release.
Updated FAQ to use qandaset tags instead of literallayout,
cleaned up administration section, added User Guide section,
miscellaneous FAQ updates and third-party integration information.
From this point on all new tags are lowercase in preparation for the
2.13 release of the Guide in XML format instead of SGML.</TD

>Things fixed this release: Elaborated on queryhelp interface, added FAQ regarding
moving bugs from one keyword to another, clarified possible problems with the Landfill
tutorial, fixed a boatload of typos and unclear sentence structures. Incorporated the
README into the UNIX installation section, and changed the README to indicate the deprecated
status. Things I know need work: Used "simplelist" a lot, where I should have used
"procedure" to tag things. Need to lowercase all tags to be XML compliant.</TD
