No, but a very simple tcl frontend would be neat. :)

That's nice. First thing I did actually is have a look at rigmatrix.
But the produced table is kindof mind-boggling. So many information
is difficult to make sense of... So I decided to stick with the
'hand-written' table for the time being. But I guess it will be
difficult to keep track of all the supported equipment, so:

Yes, it would be a good idea to automatically produce support.html

- Is my rig supported ? (rigctl --list)
- Introduction to rigctl and how to test a rig for basic functionality.
- How do I write software with hamlib with an in-depth example from the
  tests directory
- Anything else?

It will be easy to write the FAQ in html (or sgml) and have a
plain text 'FAQ' file included inside the hamlib tree.

I'll have a look.
