After my last Patchy run (just now) I get this (ive edited so just the 
largest dirs in each case are shown):

NB> It seems that the Japanese docs are built using its own 'build' dir 
(i.e. it has its own out-www build doc and doesn't seem to share any of 
the files the other docs do while building, but I am probably not 
understanding this).

Are we wasting build time and space with the way we build the Japanese 
docs compared to the other languages?

Anyway...
