Somewhere on the ToDo list I wrote for Michelle on the OSolDevCont2007
were AFAIK two items:
1. Create a /usr/docs/-directory hiearacy for the docs folks at
Sun/OpenSolaris.org
<many_more_items>
9xx. Create a script which can be called by package postinstall scripts
which builds the matching "windex"/etc. files automatically (note that
this is not part of the "postinstall" script itself to make sure that
modification to the index generation scripts are decoupled from the
"postinstall" script)
