Also, in the release bundle, the "website" (docs/examples.html) uses a relative path to access the examples (../examples). So this is all consistent.

I'm not opposed to the current structure. I just think we could have
geoext.org/trunk and geoext.org/<x>.<y> and advertize these links when
pointing to the docs of trunk and specific versions. I can set this up
once you're done with the release, and if people agree.
