compiling the docs from CVS.
I think it'd be great to make a tarball available that's almost
compiled, but not quite. That is, it has everything complete but
instead of PNGs has Postscript fragments, and a makefile to run them
all through Ghostscript. In fact... since LilyPond comes with
GhostScript, why not distribute the docs as a self-extracting
executable that does this?
Err... this is probably possible. Although we might also need texinfo,
and ImageMagick, and... well, why not simply give people access to CVS?
If you have the right versions of software installed, it's easy to
compile the docs. That's how I do it -- I don't build lilypond myself;
I use GUB. If you're curious about how this works, I could post
instructions.
I'm not certain what problem this is trying to solve, though.
Cheers,
