[Building Sakai] Sitebrowser description

[Daniel Merino]

Hi, Savitha.

These steps that you gave me a few days ago are for a different version 
of Sakai of the one we have here (2.5.3) so I have modified them and I 
have created a patch in the JIRA 
http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-13149 to solve the problem 
described there.

I'm a newcomer in Sakai programming, so I don't know if my patch could 
be done better than is, but it solves the problem.

Thanks and regards.
