	There is a program called html2latex, but I've never used it.

	There have been discussions in the past about changing markup
formats for the documentation--see the doc-sig archives--but inertia
has kept us with LaTeX.  IMHO it would be good to define an SGML or
XML DTD similar to the existing LaTeX macros, and then use Mike
Fletcher's XML parser (or some other parser) to produce various output
formats.  But that's certainly not going to happen for 1.5.
