I have no idea if Reinier is a core lazarus developer - I assumed we
was. Anyway, he mentioned lhelp/chm as the default help. You did not
deny or correct him in your reply, and then later you stated that
lhelp+chm will be included in the next release.  I put two and two
together ("default help is lhelp/chm" + "available in next release")
and figured that means CHM should work out of the box in the next
release. Maybe I shouldn't assume so much.

Anyway, I now know 'make bigide' includes building LHelp and the
CHMHelp package, but I really don't see why 'make all' doesn't. The
v1.0 release (binary or source form) includes the CHM files, so why
not use them.

lhelp has the lowest dependencies. It needs only one lazbuild call.

I improved a few things in chmhelppkg to make it more user friendly.

It is still difficult to build all chm files. To be more exact:
building the chm files is easy, building the input for the chm files
is difficult. I guess the inf files have the same problem.

The next rpm/deb packages will contain lhelp and some chm files.
