... and now there's a 1.1.1 release, with a few typographical errors
fixed in the documentation (and a few new ones added, no doubt). I
couldn't justify bumping the number without *something* new, so I
added some helpful infrastructure-type things.

* Now there's a Rakefile instead of a Makefile. Small change, but
I thought it seemed philosophically appropriate
* PageTemplate is now available as a gem file! That will make a
couple of my users happy, since they've only been asking for it since
... when did RubyGems get released? I forget.

Anyways, here's where you can find the project files:

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas,
