Perhaps a text file on GitHub we could submit pull requests to?
I decided against a text file that dman reads because,
inevitably, people will have problems with dman not finding
that file, or finding the wrong one, etc. I thought it would be
more bulletproof if it was a standalone executable.
Definitely its internal database, though, is too small.
Eventually, it should have everything in it that has an html
anchor name on the web site.
Couldn't it be a text file that is compiled in with import()? Or
a d file with a single function containing add(name, url); for
each entry. Some stand alone and easy to read/edit.
