Upstream has a separate repository for the documentation. I couldn't
find any synchronization points to the repository containing the
"Advanced" branch, which we're currently following (there's a newer
"Development" branch, but that's just the svn trunk). Sorry.

I'll try to keep netpbm up-to-date in the future, which should make
them more in-sync again.
