Bonjour Vincent,

in the absence of answer from Upstream, I propose to remove the tcoffe-doc
altogether.  For a long term solution, one could propose Upstream to convert
the T-COFFEE manual from the MS-Word format to DocBook or another markup
language, for instance under the umbrella of the Open Bioinformatics Fundation
if it participates to the Google Code-in or the Google Doc Sprint.

Bon dimanche,
