The optimal format is one which does not require any additional work.
That's one used by EMX now.

Yes, it's lousy for the current century.  But I see no reason to put
all the eggs in one basket.  We are talking about something (CRT DLL)
which is very hard to maintain due to "objective" reasons (as opposed
to bookkeeping reasons).  It is very important to separate targets
which do not depend on each other.

If someone wants to translate the EMX docs into a more "lightweight"
format (and Perl's POD or its widespread extensions immediately comes
to mind), they are welcome.  But this is an *orthogonal* target.

Hope this helps,
Ilya
