I've been doing something silly here. I have two doc directories, one
which is lyxdoc, and one which is the 1.1.6 branch of lyxdoc. I usually
edit lyxdoc, then copy the entire file to the 1.1.6 branch, then commit
them both. (I'm not very good with CVS). This way, both versions get
updated, and since they haven't diverged yet, everything should be okay.
JMarc has decreed that the 1.1.6fix3 docs will come from the 1.1.6 branch,
which is why I have been doing the double updates. When fix3 comes out
(presumably shortly after Lars gets back), we will declare the 1.1.6
branch dead and move on.

Just shows that we are dumb users, too :-)

I wasn't aware of this package. I'll have to check it out. (Not that it
will help directly here, but it is still interesting.)
