There has been fairly little discussion about dwww and its
design, I think.  Mostly I've been discussing things with
myself. :) (But that's OK.  Most of this stuff just needs to
be done, and doesn't benefit from discussion.

The discussion about whether to do on-line conversions of manual
pages or pre-convert them was ended when I did "du -s /usr/man
/usr/X11R6/man".  At my newly installed system (with lots of
programs still missing), that's more than 15 MB.  We can't
expect people to have use another 15 MB for pre-converted HTML.
I couldn't out-argue myself on that point. :)

I'd like to allow pre-conversion, but that's far in the future.
There are more important things that need to be fixed first.
