Setup was a pain, but maintenance hasn't been too bad. Most changes
don't deeply alter the code structure. After major surgery I diff the
documentation output to check I haven't broke anything major (eg.
removed a title or a section terminator).

Yeah, code documentation like this belongs in comments IMHO, and even
there it can rot.
Thanks,
