Simon Tatham e2c84a5fd2 Introduce a mechanism in this source tree for building the container
web pages for the Java applets. Previously, those have all been
maintained by hand in my website's svn area, which is a bit silly. Now
we have a file per puzzle in the 'html' subdirectory which contains
the puzzle's name, one or two attributes, and the instructions snippet
to go below the puzzle applet; and then there's a Perl script that
builds all the real web pages out of that by adding in the parts
common across all files: the header, footer, and middle fragment with
the <applet> tag and resizing bits and pieces.

One piece _not_ checked in here is the footer text specific to my
hosting at chiark, which I think does still belong in the www area. So
Buildscr doesn't actually build the web pages; it just delivers the
bits and pieces by which my nightly snapshot script will be able to
run the program that _does_ build them, passing that footer as an
extra argument.

Towers
<p>
Fill in the grid with towers whose heights range from 1 to the grid
size, so that every possible height appears exactly once in each row
and column, and so that each clue around the edge counts the number
of towers that are visible when looking into the grid from that
direction. (Taller towers hide shorter ones behind them. So the
sequence 2,1,4,3,5 would match a clue of 3 on the left, because the
1 is hidden behind the 2 and the 3 is hidden behind the 4. On the
right, it would match a clue of 1 because the 5 hides everything
else.)
<p>
To place a tower, click in a square to select it, then type the
desired height on the keyboard. To erase a tower, click to select a
square and then press Backspace.
<p>
Right-click in a square and then type a number to add or remove the
number as a pencil mark, indicating tower heights that you think
<em>might</em> go in that square.
