maybe I'm missing something, but

-       ln -sf $webdocdir/developers-reference/$(basename "$doc" .html).en.html 
$webdocdir/developers-reference/$(basename "$doc" .html).html.en
+       ln -sf $(basename "$doc" .html).en.html 
$webdocdir/developers-reference/$(basename "$doc" .html).html.en

should work just as well, no need for all those ugly cds. (I would have
submitted a new patch, but I don't have access to the original file.)
