> Is there a way to run the tree Python?

Currently, that should be possible, as the documentation is
built after Python. However, in the long term, cross-compilation
needs to be considered (to AMD64 on an x86 machine); then you
can't run the tree python on the build machine.

I would prefer if there was a makefile target that invoked
hhc, from "%ProgramFiles%\HTML Help Workshop\hhc.exe" directly.
It's guaranteed that make (i.e. cygwin make) will find a Python
interpreter (i.e. cygwin python2.5). Then buidmsi could just
invoke that target directly after htmlhelp.
