Re: building documention

[Gerrit]

This is probably a great sugestion, unfortunately I really 'grew up' in
Win32 so this would be a long road for me. Some-one else?

I use a "simple" win32 text editor (textpad) with which I can search and
replace text using regular expressions allowing me to do select and repace
text that matches a certain patern (like a filename).
