[devel at bb.net] Broken links to documentation

Dear buildbot developers,

I'm constantly being hit by broken google hits to various
documentation, and most of the time it's easier to find documentation
for 0.8 than for 2.x.

Example: I enter "buildbot vrtual builders" to google, and the top hit is
    http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/manual/cfg-builders.html
which is responding with the
    404 Not Found
error.

This is just a random example, and I do eventually find some page
after jumping through various hoops (usually I start from a given 0.8
documentation, then try to find the latest documentation, and try if I
can find it a approximately the same location from table of contents),
but it's a constant struggle to get to the right documentation
quickly.

Mojca
