daace7a21e Add Makefile that builds only the freebsd-general directory. At the 
moment there is no processing needed for the common/ directory, though
in the future, we could pull in content there from other parts of the
tree to automatically keep the common slides about the most recent
freebsd releases up to date, number of committers/ports, etc..

Add a README that explains the directory hierarchy.

ec971e29ad Add an example presentation that makes use of the common content in 
../common to generate 13 slides about FreeBSD.

666f378e4f Add reusable XML files (slides/simplified DocBook DTD) that can be 
included by other presentation documents to rapidly generate or change
the content of a presentation based on this shared data.

Each of these files contains either a single <foil> slide, or a
selection of slides on the specified subject inside a <foilgroup>.  In
either case, the XML for your presentation (slides.xml) can simply
include a few slides of content for each file with :

<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude"
  href="../common/what-is-freebsd.xml"/>

HTML and PDF output formats work now.  It should be feasible to output
OpenOffice XML and then import it into that application for final
presentation tweaks.

321a5f827d Use a more precise ulink and prevent a needless footnote from being created. 
This could also have been done with

<ulink url="&url.base;/docs.html"></ulink>.

but that would have caused "../../../docs.html" to be dislpayed in the
HTML version.  That's what we want to link to, but it looks better to
display the absolute URL inline.  This commit gives us the best of
both worlds, for print and HTML output :

          browse the list of tutorials at <ulink
-         url="&url.base;/index.html">http://www.FreeBSD.org/</ulink>.
