Maybe I understand you incorrectly, but a plain text or html version
of the documentation should be provided with the normal tarball,
just like we provide not only configure.in but also configure because
there would be so many more questions/help requests from people who
have problems with autoconf. How can we point people to the documen-
tation if it is hard to read? Pointing them to an external source
isn't really helpful: a readable documentation should go with the
package.

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
