Hmm. Maybe only after 2006? That seems to be when 1.4.2.2 was released
and that's what I have. This seems to use sgml2html, which I now find
doesn't appear to exist for Cygwin, so it would explain why the error
about the html files appears.

You're right. Today. I'm sure when I looked a couple of days ago there
were several html files with names that were something like:
manual-<some number>.html (going purely from memory). Well, they're not
there now, anyway, and I don't know how they could have got there before
if they need sgml2html to generate them. Not so important, anyway, I
just don't like leaving mysteries :)
