itself next time we generate HTML docs.

- IL9810-2651 The tutorial has been rewritten. This bug no longer applies.
- IL9811-0561 We need to add these images in the following location on the next burn:
Mac: Metrowerks CodeWarrior:Java Support:Metrowerks:JavaDoc:images:
Win: Metrowerks CodeWarrior\Java Support\Metrowerks\JavaDoc\images\
Solaris: Metrowerks_CodeWarrior/Java Support/Metrowerks/JavaDoc/images/

The book uses the old method of naming a project with the .µ extension, instead
of .mcp. This book is not produced by MW, nor do we have the book sources, so we are
unable to update it.
