There is no set way to convert between the handbook in CVS and the version
in the wiki.  I wish there was...  I know that it's generally possible to
get MediaWiki (which was, last I saw, what was being used for the wiki) to
output XML, and the handbook should probably be moved from to xml, but
it's a task nobody's been able to tackle yet.  I'd love to, and I may if I
get time again in the future.  (recently changed jobs and house)

I would be happy to ditch the cvs version if it was possible to produce
what it does through the wiki, just because it seems to add a higher
barrier to contributions than it should.

All that aside - If you want to produce changes for the cvs version that
correct for the FreeBSDisms that I've missed, please do!  I'd be happy to
go through them/commit them.
