well, to eloborate on that extremely succinct comment, color coding complex 
information tends to get out of hand very quickly (besides, what is a 
natural color theme for stdlib is not necessarily so for someone else). 

a good example of color coding is traffic lights. people all over the world 
can easily grasp the meaning of the different colors (although, admittedly, 
in Turkey drivers tend to consider traffic lights as mere suggestions, but 
I digress).

with so many different categories and classes of documents, color coding 
djgpp documentation would be ambiguous at best, and possibly cause migraine 
headaches for others.

OTOH, the documentation already contains an excellent index (both info and 
faq). As for the FAQ being a single page, that allows one to use the "find 
in page" function of your browser without needing a web server. so i find 
it quite handy, and i would not want to have that replaced.

but, see, this is your chance to make a contribution to djgpp: instead of 
leaving things in limbo, you can follow through, and help fix them.

i am not sure what you are getting at here. if i see a post i want to 
respond to, i will, otherwise, i won't.
