Should simply be ~ftp/pub/dev/doc

Okay, just added 'set -e', commented out, to the script ... actually, just
uncommented it, for, even without the docs, it probably shouldn't be

Would #4 be these, from thomas old cron jobs:

# Run at 3:05 local time (EST5EDT?) every day
5 3 * * * $HOME/CURRENT/docbuild |& tee $HOME/CURRENT/docbuild.log
# Twice a day during beta 2000-03-28
25 11 * * * $HOME/CURRENT/docbuild |& tee $HOME/CURRENT/docbuild.log
