Well, I fired up cvs and tried to grab src/winsup/doc. I ended up with the whole system somehow - thank goodness we are not up on dialup.

I figured out what needed modification and made the mods. I then tried firing up the build system to see if I didn't screw things up. ./configure seemed to work ok, but make didn't - no db2html. I searched all the source code (since I had it anyway) but didn't find any files named like db2html nor did I find any entries in any Makefiles to build it.

Is there a single search that can be done to figure out in what package db2html might be, so I can download and continue?
