The TOC is not made to be generically usable sorry :(

Okay, here's the patch. it adds the ability to have fpdoc output chm's
which have an autogenerated toc and index.

to import the .xct files from another package/chm looks like this:
--import=/path/to/rtl.xct,ms-its:rtl.chm::/
--import=/path/to/fcl.xct,ms-its:fcl.chm::/

There's a seriously huge improvement in speed of the chm code when
compiled with -Ooregvar. I added it to the Makefile.fpc in the
packages/chm directory. I guess the Makefile will have to be regenerated.

Regards,

Andrew


PS you can have a peek at some chm's I made with fpdoc here:
