ah, they probably just changed the name. check the cmdline args then.

I've built htmldoc on windows and on linux and I'm using it for my win2k 
test server and also on phpwiki.sf.net/demo/ (as you might see).
but you need latest CVS of phpwiki. (and not the nightly snapshot 
because this doesn't work anymore)

yes, htmldump is our best testcase which produces the most errors, 
because it tries to transform and render every simgle page. on any error 
it fatals.
and it easily runs out of memory. (needs ~30MB currently)
