          ^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't like those 2 dirs.  They bind "progref, userguide" to
sourcenav, however 40 packages could have dirs named
"userguide".  Perhaps:

 html
 |
 ----sourcenav
     |
     ----progref
     ----userguide

No ambiguity then.  Actually, /usr/share/html would be a better
place IMHO, but....  ;o)
