Yeah, that's what I thought you'd say.  I don't think it's worth the
effort and expense of duplicating Cygwin's CSS elsewhere but maybe
there's a clever way to avoid the html nesting which wouldn't require
that.

I'd rather just move this out of the code entirely.  The user visible
interfaces aren't going to change and we haven't made a habit of
adding new DOCTOOL tags.  I don't know who first thought that adding
these was a good idea (it may predate my time on the project even
though CVS insists that I added it with version 1.1) but, if Corinna
agrees when she gets back, I'd like to just get rid of these.
