Well, we have two options I guess... either make sure everyhting on the site
is synched up with cvs, or create a tarball of whats live and save that
someplace and remove it from cvs.  In either case we'll need to keep a copy
of the db around, since a lot of the content(like the translated pages) was
kept in the db.

Yeah... I had hoped to get some redirects/links going from the developer site
into the main www site, but have become backlogged on actual work so it isn't
getting done very quickly.
