Well, now before reading this mail, I went again to the former URL, and was 
quite surprised by seeing the latter one in the "Other related" section. I 
would have sworn that I haven't seen that before... Now I know it's new (:

Do you really expect a (sort of) newbie to thoughly look at the package 
creator's part for reference? To be honest, I wasn't interested in creating 
new packages so far, and that part seemed to be the longer one, so I 
skipped it. Thus, I think the first part really should have that pointer; 
or rather some more content from it (for example, the brief list of make 
targets).

Anyway, I admit that I still have ways to refine my routines to lookup UNIX 
docs... (:
