[Mono-docs-list] DocStatus tool

I think we could host this on the new machine mono.ximian.com, I will
give Duncan access to the machine so he can setup Mono + XSP in there
(I have an old instlalation there).

But this is very useful, and should help the documentation effort.

For now, if you can generate static files, we can host those in a
directory in the current web server.  Am  gone next week to Guadec, so
it might be hard for me to get this done.
