Would you be so kind to put me in CC: or To: when replying, so that I
can notice the message faster? I probably missed more of your replies

Now that I think of it, the modification of all Makefiles isn't a
neccessity at all - I can make my own custom makefile just for that.
Since we don't add new subdirs in DDP tree every day :) there's no

This particular symlink isn't needed, BTW...

... but that is about the same with what I had in mind.
I'll have time in the next few days, and do something more with the
core problem - the documents.

Okay.
