Turn invalid characters into underscores, remove leading dots and enforce
a maximum length. Should be fine on main file systems used by Windows, Mac OS
and Linux.
Thanks to @Avaris for helping to clean my code.
When a WP XML file is imported, items with missing title are generated with a
title which is probably not the good one (instead of being dropped), and a
warning is displayed to the user.
Since feed generation is usually unnecessary during development (and can
produce potentially-confusing warnings when SITEURL is not set), running
"make html" will now skip feed generation by default. Feed generation
settings have been added to publishconf.py so feeds will be generated
when the site is published.
Also corrected some URLs in pelicanconf.py.
- if the output directory does not exist the 'make clean' command fails,
which also means that the 'make html' command which would otherwise
create the output directory also fails without generating the output
Quick fix for this traceback:
$ pelican-import --wpfile ~/Downloads/mysite.wordpress.2013-02-24.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm a BeautifulSoup novice but these changes allowed me to import two of my wordpress.xml files.
After waiting for pelican and server to come up, if either one has
died then give a more helpful message and clean up. Previously did not
check for this, so script informed user that everything was running even
if one or both parts failed for whatever reason.
This is meant to provide a little more user-friendliness
in those cases where user has a develop_server.sh in project directory
but forgot to (re)install pelican, activate relevant virtualenv, etc.
as well as other unforeseen situations where one of the processes does
not start.
Three changes:
1. Fix inconsistent "pwd" behavior by using make's $(CURDIR) builtin.
2. Change bash shebang to the more-portable form.
3. Tell users when Pelican and SimpleHTTPServer have been backgrounded.
Argument index is included in .format() method format string in order to be friendly with various Python versions and consistent with the rest of the code.
Restore "make serve" to a non-backgrounded SimpleHTTPServer process and
give the develop_server.sh its own make target at "make devserver".
Add a few missing make targets to the help list and re-order targets for
consistency. Add note to docs regarding how to stop the devserver.
