totally borked, but pretty much all the duplication is gone, and there is a good start on a common core section in coregrind/coregrind_core.html. At least I know where I'm going with all this now. The Makefile.am's need to be fixed up. Basic idea is that, when put together in a single directory, these files make a coherent manual, starting at manual.html. Fortunately :-) "make install" does exactly that -- copies them to a single directory. After redundancy removal, there's more that 38000 words of documentation here, according to wc. Amazing. git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@1284
