Thanks, that did the trick. But there is only a doc archive for 2.6.5,
I'm running the 2.7 series... Wouldn't it be a good idea to provide a
tarball of the docs of the current development version on the doc page?

Anyhow, I succeeded to `make web` on the 2.7.28 release today,
so now I have some fresh docs locally. Very nice. =)
