The outdated-doc-4.5 contains documents from kdeaccessibility and kdepim, 
where there is a template, but no documentation available. That makes it 
impossible to regenerate the docbooks. In this case it is the templates that 
are outdated instead, and should not be there.

I have cleaned up the obsolete Swedish docbooks.

I noticed that the FAQ and userguide are gone, which surprised me. Has that 
been discussed? Where does a user go to get such basic information in his/her 
language nowadays?

Why not include this clean up in the scripty run generatic docmessages? I 
can't see any reason why it must be handled manually.
