I tried it with kchmviewer, and compared to the info file, the chm file even has a usable index. And nice markup. Colors. A table of contents browser. You can click on a link to follow it.
Unfortunately, the MySQL distfile doesn't ship with the documentation in HTML or PDF format, which I had preferred over chm.
Investigating further, I found the HTML version on the MySQL homepage, with some obscure licensing terms, but I think they are covered by the pkgsrc distribution methods.
I can import that instead of having the CHM file. Roland
