This is a good idea.  There actually is *lots* of documentation out
there, as you point out the difficulty is getting someone to do the
work to compile and index it.  While you're working on it (heh), I
wrote a "manual" for the A-4 that should probably go in:

To be fair: this is a bug, not a feature that we want to document. :)

I have a bunch of Nasal-based modifications to the control stuff
sitting on my drive at home.  Among them is a throttle binding that
automatically detects and modifies the right number of defined engine
properties.

The problem is that it has apparently exposed a memory corruption bug
somewhere, and I'm getting random crashes with the Nasal code.  My
suspicions point to the garbage collector, but I can't prove that yet;
the crashes tend to leave the machine in a pretty questionable state
(I might be clobbering something in the NVidia driver), so this is
going to take some time to debug.
