 The xNNNN.html files can be left if building a doc, adding a new
 section to it, and rebuilding it, and then doing "make clean".
 Normally all of the generated *.html files including xNNNN.html are
 listed in HTML.manifest and "make clean" removes files in that file.
 However, adding a new section can change the name of xNNNN.html files
 and the successive rebuild overwrites HTML.manifest.

 The right way to solve this is adding section ids wherever
 applicable.  I do not think we need to change the webupdate script
 once we remove the old files.
