That is obviously a valid point, but when I started this subthread I was 
simply trying to point out that one of the courses of action in the wiki 
(Graeme's suggestion to assimilate the Kylix files) might not be useful 
due to platform constraints.

Noted. However since I usually build Lazarus from source (no binary 
distro for some of the systems I run, or I need a specific compiler 
version from SVN) is there an idiot's guide somewhere for how to get and 
integrate the latest docs? And what can be done to get as many users as 
possible aware of this?
