I would recommend using dwww and dhelp directly. dhelp#s parser is written  
in C and uses a database. So it#s a lot of faster than using doc-base,  
which is written in perl. Especially on "old" 486/586 CPUs using dhelp  
directly speeds up the installation process of packages dramatically.

dhelp comes with a dhelp -> dwww converter. So it#s no problem to support  
both system.

JH> Yes.

Why? What is the advantage of using doc-base?

P.S.: The latest dhelp 0.3.14 supports FHS *and* FSSTND :).
