You will just love GitHub.

Yes.

Nor is it handwritten. This is confusing... ?-)

So do I. But integrated dependancies are sometimes even worse: Imagine
downloading some OSS library that has libExample version 0.8.15
integrated which comflicts with the version 1.0 that you are already
using in your program...

The best solution of course is to keep dependancies at a minimum.
However, CMake should be an acceptable tool-dependancy while Boost
should be an acceptable library-dependancy.

Surely CMake can stringify the .glsl files. Not sure how best to handle
the RELNOTES. Are the html sources handwritten? Maybe rst would be an
alternative.

I thougt about putting the Guide on a Website. If you grant me the
permission.

Me neither. Hence, I assigned it a rather low priority. But let's keep
that in mind.

Love the idea.
