FTR there's also "make htmlview" that already opens a browser to the index of 
the locally built docs.

The Linux (and Unix?) equivalent is xdg-open.

Thanks.  Btw, it works for me on Mac OS X I believe out of the box:

Help: Open opens files from a shell.
  By default, opens each file using the default application for that file.  
  If the file is in the form of a URL, the file will be opened as a URL.

it doesn't work on my Debian system:

$ open _build/html/index.html
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console

as open is a link to "openvt - start a program on a new virtual terminal (VT)."

Chris Jerdonek added the comment:

Thanks for the patch.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the following works on all or most 
systems?

$ open _build/html/index.html

That could also be added to save time for people that don't already know.

R. David Murray added the comment:

Thanks for the suggestion, but the context is that you are in the Doc directory 
in order to run make, so I think the existing documentation is preferable.  I'd 
let George decide, though.
