[Lazarus] fpdocmanager questions & crash

Trying out FPDocManager.

Have somme comments/questions - sorry if these have been raised before:
1. What is the "common documentation directory" you are asked to select
when starting it for the first time? Does it contain your sources?
Compiled documentation? Would be nice if there were a bit more description.
(Probably is the "root directory" in the config assistant. Ok.)

2. Configuration assistant: good idea!
2nd tab, FPC: "Now select the FPC
source directory and the FPC documentation directory in it"
Assuming that means the fpcdocs SVN repository
I keep fpcdocs separate as I have multiple fpc installs.
Is it required to have fpcdocs under your FPC directory?

3. RTL step: noticed you need to create 2 Windows batch files. Wouldn't
it be more useful if there were some cross platform way of generating
the rtl etc docs (e.g. shelling out to fpdoc with parameters like
lazbuild is doing right now?)

4. Trying to select the newly generated rtl.bat gives an access
violation (Lazarus SVN 36494, FPC SVN 20683 x86). Any fix for that?


Thanks,
Reinier
