schedweb: Automatic catalog linking

If the -c option is not used, no attempt will be made to link course numbers to the online catalog.

If, however, you want every reference to a course to be a live link to an online course catalog, you must do these things:

1. Establish a single webgen topic (directory) that contains all catalog pages.
2. Use the -ctopic option to tell schedweb what topic contains those catalog pages.
3. Organize the catalog so that each department's courses are placed in up to five files---one each for 100-level, 200-level, 300-level, 400-level, and grad courses. The names of each file must be the department code followed by either 100, 200, 300, 400, or grad; for example, a 600-level Physics course would be found in file physgrad.g.
4. Within each of these files, you must establish an anchor for each course, whose name is the course number, followed by L if it is a lab. For example, if the catalog topic is courses, the full webgen reference for Physics 121 lab would be:

         <r id="courses/physgrad#121L">
