For the time being, I'm only going to worry about the man pages.  Eventually
we can probably convert them to other formats using rman.  But since this is
a lot of work, it should probably wait until we get closer to the production
release (whenever that is).

Mark and I have looked at various alternatives (pod, linux-doc, etc..) for
use with zsh documentation, but so far, none of these fit the bill (although
pod comes pretty close).

Does that apply to the files that used to be in the help/ subdir as
well?  (I note that the run-help function to search $HELPDIR is still
present in the Functions/ subdir, but the supporting files are gone.)

If people think they are useful, I'll probably add them back to the
distribution later.

In my oppinion they are EXTREMELY useful scince zsh commands have so
many wonderful options...

It would be great if they could be updated with the man pages.

Didn't Peter supply a perl script a while back to automatically
generate these from the man pages? Or am I thinking of something else?
