Update, 4/12/2002
A few more changes: 

BUGFIX fixed KeyError in end_ifset (well, I may have just made it go
away, rather than fix it) 

BUGFIX allow @menu and menu items inside @ifset or @ifclear 

add support for @vtable 

BUGFIX changed the way I am storing and outputting node information
for htmlhelp 

The program now handles documentation for MySQL (my original goal),
TexInfo, GCC, and glibc. 

By the way, I would be pleased and honored if my modifications were
to be included in the standard distribution. How do I submit them
for consideration?
