I'm told there's a tool called 'c2html' that creates a website with
crossreferences to all variables, etc. etc. etc.

understanding the code.  What I may have to do is create some special .h
files int the doc directory, and rnun the C preprocessor on them, then do a
merge with a documentation file if they change.  A bit of a pain, but so it
goes.

a bug in that I'm getting both the @ifinfo and @ifhtml parts of text I have
in the texi files, but I think that will be fixed fairly soon.  One
disagvantage of the newer texi2html program is that it visually splits the
html file into sections, but doesn't physically split it into .html files.

I'd sue texi2html's anchors, but if you re-arrange, add, or remove sections
or definitions, the tags change.  And you can't guess what they'll be ahead
of time, whereas I'm using the convention of "GDL_ref_xxxx" where xxx is the
name of the variable, form, table, ...  So for example acp_to_disband would
have the anchor "GDL_ref_acp-to-disband"
