Ok, I've gone through the ubuntu subdirectory and fixed most of the
links with a script. I've left the script I used for reference purposes.
There are a few broken links remaining, because not all of the documents
in the ubuntu subdirectory have a good naming convention (ie.
documentname/C/documentname.xml) - I'll fix these gradually.
