Nice, if you look you'll notice that I used softlinks recklessly. The
snapshots will slowly flush them.

I have one tweek left. For the 5.1-branch, change the version to
``5.0.91_YYYYMMDD'' so that it is different to the trunk (YYYYMMDD).

PS: http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/5.1/{onlinedocs,ari} are for the
branch while http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/{ari,onlinedocs} are for
current. I might one day move them to /gdb/current/... but not today.
