Last build I did, it noted that I didn't have some tools required to 
even produce html or pdf documents, so build simplay said that those 
documents wouldn't be created. But my belief was that this was just 
another version of the same documents already produced in a few 
different formats.

Nothing that was exclusively html.

I'd say we should keep away from html documentation instead of expecting 
a web browser to be a required tool.
