which version are you running?

the above macro being in place, 1/2 the work is already being done.
so let's give it a try if you have 5 mn to do this.

probably enough to justify a separate nut-docs package, that would include
the 3 output types...

here are some approximations on the current version
remember that these are not yet polished! and part of this, we have
graphical illustrations that could have a major impact on the size.

- PDF :
469K docs/developer-guide.pdf
184K docs/FAQ.pdf
139K docs/packager-guide.pdf
728K docs/user-manual.pdf

- HTML chunked :
752K  docs/user-manual.chunked
372K  docs/developer-guide.chunked
48K    docs/packager-guide.chunked

- HTML single :
216K  docs/developer-guide.html
56K    docs/FAQ.html
314K  docs/user-manual.html

cheers,
Arno
