[Live-demo] Updated osgeolive makefile

[Cameron Shorter]

As I mentioned in an earlier part of this email thread, OSGeo-Live 
presentation docs are now incorporated into the rest of the 
documentation, and are built as part of the build process.

Thanks, I'll update the script accordingly.

My thoughts are that it would be valuable to distribute our presentation 
on the OSGeo-Live distribution, along with the rest of the 
documentation. People can take the DVD home from a FOSS4G type event, 
and give the OSGeo-Live presentation at their workplace, from OSGeo-Live.

And yes, presentation docs could then easily be incorporated into the 
translation pipeline.

Also, as you mention, most of the presentation images are based on the 
main doc images.

Yes, I'm also keen to hear feedback from FOSS4G.
