The content there doesn't appear to have changed - does that mean the output 
is identical to the old generated HTML, or is something between me and there 
caching the pages where it shouldn't be?

As a quick note on directions I'd like to see... this is #1! I'm using the 
man page HTML on the sf.net site as a constant reference. I should pull my 
finger out and generate a local copy :)

Hrm - I'm doing a fair bit of OS X / Python work these days, and I could give 
the source a try out at work. I use only the utilities distributed with OS X 
- gcc, the apple Project Builder etc. I can't develop for OS 9 or earlier.
