HTML help on Windows

[Bastian M. <bma...@we...>]

Hello,

Windows Vista and Windows 7 no longer support the old help system used 
by gnuplot (out of the box). For a bug report see for example:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2849723&group_id=2055&atid=102055

Creating a new converter from gnuplot.doc to the new (HTML based) format 
proved to be simple enough and the change in API is only minor.

Right now I use Visual C++ to build. Could somebody using MinGW or 
Cygwin to build on Windows please help me to integrate the new files in 
these build systems?

Also am uncertain about the directory layout: Where should the project 
file (wgnuplot.hhp) and the stub index file (wgnuplot.hhk) go? The 
obvious options being docs/, config/ or src/win/ (as is the case for the 
current help project file wgnuplot.hpj).

I modified a copy of docs/plotstyles.gnu to produce png images instead 
of pdf files. Does anybody have a nice solution how to recombine those two?
