I started hacking through trying to produce at least a list of 
functions/procedures and a permuted index from different versions, but I 
got bogged down in an apparent requirement that the documentation files 
needed to be processed by the corresponding version of supplied 
utilities. I'm sure what I did was of little value since I was attacking 
the problem with insufficient understanding of "the right way to do it" 
and I'm not even sure where it's got to.
