wxT/Qt framework help book (was Fwd: Re: Last call ...)

[Daniel J S. <dan...@ie...>]

I've placed a patch for wxT HelpBook and Qt-Assistant on SourceForge:

https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/patches/704

which should give anyone interested something to do on New Year's Day.

There are also a couple screenshots of the two help book windows after 
the gnuplot.htb file and the gnuplot.qch and gnuplot.qhc files are made 
and installed.

The Help Book/Qt-Assistant format is much faster than a typical browser,
it's a little better packaged in a way, and it doesn't require a browser
be running.

What I've done, in the case that the gnuplot.htb (Help Book) or
gnuplot.qhc (Qt-Assistant help collection) is allow for the normal HTML
code to be viewed in a wxWidgets or Qt window.  Both of those frameworks
support HTML code natively.  So again, no browser is needed to use the
HTML help for those two terminals.
