If you look at the first website, the docs are generated march 6, 2010, not
in 2009.

If you have a look at the fpdoc.css (as I did now) then you'll see that the
fpdoc.csse used on the FPC website is different from the one on the Lazarus site.

The one on the FPC website is the 'official' one. Where the other one comes
from, I don't know (yet).

At least, now we have a basis for testing. I will investigate.
