Thanks Neil, thanks a lot for mentioning that. Now I have horrifying 
images burned into my brain of doxygen, openjade, SGML and DTDs 
lumbering out of holes in the ground and slithering towards me, 
zombie-like, hell bent on devouring me whole and consigning my soul to 
oblivion.

"USE=doc" is truly the stuff of which nightmares are made.

/me lumbers off in search of mind-altering substances with depressant 
side-effects....
