Merge website and website-build.
Before being merged with the commit
dc6e1f32c1 ("Import website-build to
build the GNU Boot website."), website-build was a separate git
repository.

And so, even after the merge, until the commit
20d122e94a ("website-build: use website
from local git repository."), it still worked in the same way and
still downloaded the website from git.

This prevented merging the website and website-build directories
together as the GNU Boot repository also needed to be a valid Untitled
website repository as well.

Now after this commit, the website is built from the same git tree, so
we can simply adjust the build scripts to be able to move things
around.

In addition of making things more clear for contributors, it also
simplify the migration to haunt as with haunt we typically have the
haunt.cfg (and the autotools build code if needed) code in the top
directory and the markdown files in a subdirectory.

% Libreboot 20140221 release % Leah Rowe % 21 February 2014

Release 20140221 (4th release)

  • 21st February 2014

Officially supported

  • ThinkPad X60
  • ThinkPad X60s

Development notes

  • Removed SeaBIOS (redundant)
  • New GRUB version (2.02~beta2)
    • Fixes some USB issues
    • Includes ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX parser
  • New grub.cfg
  • Removed useless options:
    • options for booting sda 2/3/4
    • seabios boot option
  • Added new menu entries:
    • Parse ISOLINUX config (USB)
    • Parse ISOLINUX config (CD)
    • Added 'cat' module for use on GRUB command line.
  • "set pager=1" is set in grub.cfg, for less-like functionality

The "Parse" options read ./isolinux/isolinux.cfg on a CD or USB, and automatically converts it to a grub config and switches to the boot menu of that distro. This makes booting ISOs *much* easier than before.
