It's older versions of those (cli_ure) tested for compatibility.


The source afaics is what is curently in cli_ure.

See #1073807 for gory details.

jquery dependency almost always is not removable... jquery also is added 
to anyting using doxygen...

I get the problem, maybe I should just stop shipping the access2base 
docs. Will have a look later..


But that one's not new:

Yeah, that's a side-effect of that being auto-generated and the stuff 
pulled in by two different places. Cosmetic issue only :)
