   ===============
   To get a good overview on the metadata conversion, I recommend
   you look at the nsdl/prototypes/metadata_convert.pl script
   (perldoc ./metadata_convert.pl).  Among other things, this
   provides a list regarding the crosswalk possibilities of
   LON-CAPA to&from IEEE-LOM and LON-CAPA to&from Dublin Core.
   
   Currenty, the four stylesheets for carrying out the metadata conversion are:
   * nsdl/lib/stylesheets/dcnsdl_to_loncapa.xsl
   * nsdl/lib/stylesheets/lomnsdl_to_loncapa.xsl
   * nsdl/lib/stylesheets/loncapa_to_dcnsdl.xsl
   * nsdl/lib/stylesheets/loncapa_to_lomnsdl.xsl
   
   The Apache web handler modules are defined in the directory:
   nsdl/lib/perl/Apache/  .
   
   The Apache configuration file (see below also) is
   nsdl/conf/nsdl.conf  .
   
   The source-to-target information is defined by nsdl/build/gatewayfiles.lpml
   (an XML file defines how the software is "rendered" onto the system).
   gatewayfiles.lpml is used in many locations inside nsdl/build/Makefile.
   
   And, there are other files.
