VERSION 5.8. FINAL
==================

Das Aussehen und Konzept der Sprachlinks wurde überarbeitet,
es hängen jetzt stets beide Versionen wie Registerkarten an
dem Banner, der zudem einen Schatten spendiert bekommen hat.
Alle CSS-Dateien wurden (komplett) überarbeitet, z.T.
ausgemistet, besser kommentiert, umgestellt, gelöscht.

Einzelne Inhaltsseiten wurden geändert, aber nur in Bezug
auf CSS-Einbindung oder Inline-Styles.
