Duly noted, I'll add it. This _is_ one of the MFAQs, so it ought to be in
there. But it's a paradox!
The FAQ is maintained in SGML. This can be converted to HTML by a
program, sgml2html, that is part of the sgmltools. I gather, however,
that even if you have sgmltools installed correctly on your system, the
FAQ will not be converted properly. (That's actually what happens to me.)
It's apparently due to a bug in autoconf.
So, since Guylhem just told me I should make a patch to add the most
recent FAQ to the source tree, I'm wondering what the developers think:
should the HTML be distributed _instead_ of the SGML? Comments welcome.
