Nice!

Random thought:  I wonder if it'd have been better to leaving it default
to "WITH_DOCFORMAT_NAVI_LINK?=NO" and then explicitly setting
"WITH_DOCFORMAT_NAVI_LINK=YES" in the Web site build, the release build
doc.1 target, etc.  The case I am thinking of is that if someone builds
an html version only (the default), they'll get a dangling link to a
non-existant (or stale) html-split version.

I'm not sure what the default for the release documentation should be.
If it's changed to be consistent with the rest of the doc set, then I
need to override WITH_DOCFORMAT_NAVI_LINK for the release build and my
snapshot pages (because neither build the html-split version).  On the
other hand, this is a fairly trivial thing to do, so...???...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Bruce.

PS.  Yes, I should have mentioned this when you posted this patch 
earlier.  Sorry about that!  But I'm glad you committed this in any 
case.
