And that's a pity, because it's a bit of a pain to turn the output of
grep -r regexp docs/HTML into something the browser will display
properly, especially when there are multiple hits.
The stand-alone info tool just rules at that; it's invaluable to
search GCC docs like that. Having dozens of web pages instead would
make such searches intolerable.
