I wouldn't mind terribly if it was actually usable. I'd like to be
able to bookmark the docs in my browser. Here's a list of what's
available to me, even with "-doc"...
[m3000][waltdnes][~] find /usr/share/doc/ -name "index.html"

/usr/share/doc/giflib-4.1.4/html/doc/index.html
Guess what happens to the bookmarks next time there's a minor version
bump to any of those programs (e.g. when I update world)? I suppose I
should try to slap together a script that's run after emerge. It would
run the "find" command above, process the output, and create a file
~/.docs.html with an unnumbered list of links to the actual
documentation. Sounds like a plan.
