(Note to Jonathan and any other Python-friendly dudes: my
liberal use of ark.error.GeneralPanic should be stomped on,
i.e. replace them with more appropriate exceptions.  In
Haskell tradition, 'panics' are supposed to be reserved for
"the impossible has happened" situations.)

Fixed the instructions (in the source; checked in, I think).

I'll clean up the instructions to make it clear that you
shouldn't end up with a 'host/slicker.xml' unless you have a
host named slicker.

I've also added to my whiteboard to expand the "so try-ark
worked... so what? and what next?" sections.  Anyone with
good ideas, just type 'em into
sample1/webpages/try-ark1.htma :-)

It's getting better (slowly).  Again, Berto, persistence
much appreciated...
