Anyhow, it didn't happen, and both files have been changed quite a bit since then. It took me over a day to do the xml file (largely because I'm totally unfamiliar with the tagging you use) and I can't spare that amount of time at the moment. I think that the install.txt file is currently more correct than the manual with regard to windows installation, and it also contains useful hints and tips for common installation problems which should go into the manual.
I'm happy to work with someone familiar with the php doc system to sort things out. Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
