No, that is what I said multiple times, it does not work from the  
help menu.
And I have no problem converting with the Makefile, the only problem  
is the faq. Indeed that's what I do when I make the conglomerate  
package for fink, that is all the time since I work in the exact same  
condition as a fink user who install the package, except that I build  
a tarball from cvs.

I have no preference, but what is obvious to me is that a faq which  
is not accessible or which the user is not aware of is pretty useless.
