0.0.10 Documentation checkpoint.
The vast majority of the Maple-specific values have been pulled out of the higher-level overview pages and replaced with refs into documents under /docs/source/hardware/. Much of the work that's left to be done in this regard is labeled with versioned TODO and FIXME comments. Suggestions from StephenFromNYC and gbulmer were incorporated from this forum thread: http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=703
