Your proposal has a certain appeal to me, probably because the current
state is somewhat "asymmetrical" (is there a better word?).
On the other hand, the large amount of English pages would get shuffled
around without a real gain in information.
CVS does not support renaming/moving files and directories, so we would
lose CVS history for all English files if we just add them again. I did
this for the Swedish pages because a) there were very few pages and b)
docbook only supports the correct language code "sv", not the country
code "se".

This is simply true, I would also vote for removing Makefile.inc where
it does nothing else than setting WEB_PREFIX.
