I *REALLY* like this idea - I"ve been doing the same with some custom
perl scripts for some time, but this would make things much easier.

Can someone poke at this and verify it works? I'd like this to go into
HEAD.

Hey, I have an idea - whenever someone comes up with a patch like this,
how about the document the system that they're touching? In this way,
the people who do fairly large patches (eg this one) would be brain-
dumping even skeletal documentation, which I'd be willing to docbook-ify
and commit to the programmers guide.

Adrian, dreaming about docs ..
