You mean be able to generate html from the info files, or make sure we
include by default the html docs?

How do we want to handle the search path for share packages?  Is there
any way to avoid hard coding that?  The only way I can think of is to
create something similar to the init-lisp file specifically for
included path listings, which are user editable and loaded into maxima
at runtime.  The better option is to make maxima look in any
subdirectory of share automatically,and not need a hard coded list - is
this possible?
