Yes, whatever you want to do in respect to the getting started docs is 
fine by me. I was just pointing out an example of something that needed 
more attention than just copy/paste/reformat.

Yep. Couldn't agree more. Other pages may not need as much editing.

Oh, yes. Just make a virtual server entry in the apache config to point 
to the website location. Of course making sure the SSI module is enabled 
in the apache config. I personally run the standard Apache standalone 
Windows server, plus php, locally. For example...

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName boost.borg.redshift-software.com
        DocumentRoot "/DevRoots/Boost/website"
        <Directory "/DevRoots/Boost/website">
                Options MultiViews Includes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks +Includes
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
