#1 12234 Matt Attaway Rejigger P4Web project in preparation for official sunsetting

The bin directory contain...s the last official builds of P4Web from the
Perforce download site. P4Web is soon to be completely sunsetted; these
builds are here for folks who don't want to build their own.

To better handle the archived builds the source code has been moved into
a separate src directory. «		 10 years ago
