or the ugly-hack solution: since scripty has to download all the modules anyways, have it copy the git doc folders into a separate folder, make that available online, and have the update_xml script rsync it or download a tgz of it or something. :/ none of these are good solutions, really. -- This message brought to you by eevil bananas and the number 3. www.chani3.com
