ftmemsim-valgrind/none/docs/nl-manual.xml
Nicholas Nethercote 7a75a9f583 Overhauled the docs. Removed all the HTML files, put in XML files as
converted by Donna.  Hooked it into the build system so they are only
built when specifically asked for, and when doing "make dist".

They're not perfect;  in particular, there are the following problems:
- The plain-text FAQ should be built from FAQ.xml, but this is not
  currently done.  (The text FAQ has been left in for now.)

- The PS/PDF building doesn't work -- it fails with an incomprehensible
  error message which I haven't yet deciphered.

Nonetheless, I'm putting it in so others can see it.

<title>Nulgrind: the ``null'' tool</title>
<subtitle>A tool that does not very much at all</subtitle>
<para>Nulgrind is the minimal tool for Valgrind. It does no
initialisation or finalisation, and adds no instrumentation to
the program's code. It is mainly of use for Valgrind's
developers for debugging and regression testing.</para>
<para>Nonetheless you can run programs with Nulgrind. They will
run roughly 5 times more slowly than normal, for no useful
effect. Note that you need to use the option
<computeroutput>--tool=none</computeroutput> to run Nulgrind
(ie. not <computeroutput>--tool=nulgrind</computeroutput>).</para>
