The chms of the unit references are built as a courtesy by Marco.

The sources of the docs are in subversion, just like everything else:

http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcdocs/trunk

As far as I know, this is documented in the WIKI. (which currently seems to be down).

To my knowledge, the 'chm' Makefile target in that directory builds the 
fcl and rtl docs as CHM, but not the reference manuals.
So pressing F1 on a pascal keyword will still not show anything.
