You mean splitting the tarballs?
Last time I tried to do it I got some problems (forgot what they are, so I'll
check again; e.g. I know that the LibGGI and LibGII doc sources are tied
together, but no big deal).
Or, you could just make a release with separate tarballs manually.

I should pose this question:
Should I commit Texinfo, HTML, and text formats to CVS? (They are
automatically generated ...)

If you want, I can integrate it into the main doc sources once you
commit it. But I know that most people here aren't comfortable with
DocBook, so I'm asking.
