the website stuff were just dummies in the 1.8 branch, I removed them so
with the next build we will only have the docs "manual" and "PyQGIS Coobook"
available. And maybe even the Cookbook could be removed?

If you look at the script on the server I currently use 2 clones, build them
seperately and copy things we need from the 1.8 clone into the output folder
of the master clone. This makes it quite flexible, if we want to decide what
to show on the website and easy to handle.

And therefore it was not necessary to make many changes to the pre/post
translate scripts, which are not only used on the server but also locally by
doc writers and translators. 

Instead I mostly adapted the build_qgis-docs.sh script on the server.

If you have another or better solution, we can improve it of course.
