7. use XML, XSLT and apache ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant)

     If you have all your documents as well formed xml (ie xhtml) you
can use a simple ant build file and a simple xsl stylesheet to add
common content to any arbitrary number of source files.  This entails a
moderate initial learning curve but once it is set up these are
amazingly powerful tools.

8.  use apache cocoon (http://xml.apache.org/cocoon)

     This has a much steeper learning curve.  Cocoon's intent is to
provide dynamic content it has a command line interface that allows you
to build a complex static site.
