Perl 6 book release 2009-12

We want a Perl 6 book. We want it badly enough to write it ourselves. So that's
what we're doing: writing one.

Changes/additions to the Perl 6 book since the previous release:

  • Builtins chapter
    • created this chapter
    • added description of the Complex type
  • Roles chapter
    • created this chapter

There have also been some changes to the support scripts and support
documents for producing the book. These include:

  • new HTML make target
  • updated the release guide
