Re: [Liberty-eiffel] generating the documentation

gccxml has the same package name, and presumably one should install the gcc 
package. This is all I know for sure.

Does this create the documentation first (at least internally) and then remove 
the things I don't want, or does it ignore those extra things from the start? 
One problem I have with eiffeldoc is that it seems to consume an enormous 
amount of memory on my machine & even brings everything else to a crawl. This 
is the primary reason I want to avoid all the other documentation.

If only I had the time :-( I'll try, as things go, but first I think I'd like 
simply to turn this into an rpm, perhaps for inclusion w/Fedora. It would be my 
first one, though, so if I can manage that, I'll update you on the necessary 
packages. Otherwise, I might find some way to be useful, if as I say I can but 
find the time.
