It's been fun.  Thanks for giving me an excuse!

I'm trying to generate a useful sidebar quick-index too; the JDK1.2
documentation tree is actually quite usable except for a few minor
niggles (like the way that most stuff simply doesn't fit in the
frames!) so I try to generate HTML to be a bit like that.  Let me know
what you think...

Do you have a document specifying the format of a TCT or is it simply
what you happen to have implemented?  :^)

* I believe that the Tcl/Tk documentation is in HTML on Macs.

* It'd be nice if there was a TMML browser written in Tcl/Tk.  Sure an
  HTML browser would be nice too, but being able to host our own
  documentation would be a definite plus.  :^)

* It might be nice too if there were several different SDK releases.
  I have in mind a version which is just a user-level one (i.e. one
  for people not doing heavy development, with only precompiled and
  pure Tcl extensions) and a version which is a developer-level one
  (with all the user-level stuff *plus* other tools which require the
  use of a compiler to work properly - SWIG and maybe tcl2c would be
  things to ship in this category.)  I suppose one is a collection of
  resources, and the other a full SDK...
