Actually, it is possible to just make a new dump and replace the stock compiled 
one with it.

It is also possible to reload the complete manual after making changes with
(helptool t), but the compiled version will be loaded again at restart.

You can just click on entries that have been changed or between entries to see 
an update. This does not work when you change section names, in which case 
just reload the manual with (helptool t).
