Known bug. The libstdc++ web pages are also maintained in the libstdc++
CVS (they double as the official documentation, so that users get HTML
docs). When the CVS docs are updated, the web pages automatically get
a copy.
This worked before the merge. Now it doesn't. Nobody knows why.
So, download.html is actually updated in the libstdc++ CVS (check out
the sources and look in the docs subdirectory), but the copy on the web
server itself hasn't changed since the merge.
