[chimera-dev] should we change the chimera help files on Windows?

>From the python devlopment mailing list summary:

	"This discussion also brought up the question of whether a .chm
	help file for the Windows distribution would be worth using
	instead of including the HTML distribution of the documentation
	as it stands now.  It was agreed that it was a good thing to
	have since it allowed for better searching.  Tim Peters also
	discovered the install went faster since it would not have to
	copy a ton of individual HTML files."

Better searching would be nice, although we do provide searching on the
web site.  Faster installs would be nice, too.  

So I'm not proposing that we do this anytime soon, but that we keep
this idea in the back of our heads.  And if someone comes across a tool
that maintains two forms of help files (html and cbm), please share
that information.
