It's Makefile.common

Actually, these links missing from wolkenstein are actually (714!) dangling
links on klecker:
http://www-master.debian.org/~spaillard/dangling-links-on-klecker

Makefile.common
[..]
clean::
	rm -f *.$(LANGUAGE).html *~ *.forced

I guess we could just modify it into if "$(LANGUAGE)" "en"
	rm -f *.$(LANGUAGE).html *.html *.en-us.html *.en-gb.html *~ *.forced

But what is the point of providing such links ? Serving the en-gb page
to en-gb clients which don't even accept en ?

Add links for en-us and en-gb. Hopefully this will stop our problems with
misconfigured browsers. If we decide we don't like this for some reason, we can
easily undo it. Give it a week or two first, though.

Note that we may experience problems with the mirrors until they update their
apache configuration.
