Hi Karl,

I got around to trying this gendocs script.  Does not work for me:

$ ls -hsl manual

The issues:  "index.html" is supposed to be named "autogen.html"
with "index.html" a symlink to that.  Secondly, "autogen.html.gz"
is empty.  Also, you might consider getting the sizes with
``ls -hsl'' since I am certain you will see some megabyte sizes
for some docs.  :)  You're hard wired to GNU's ls anyway.

BTW, isn't there some stuff missing?  (viz., variations on the
partitioning of the html (one monster and one per chapter in
addition to the one  per node)?
