I agree this is a good idea.  The InfoDock distribution has been split
thusly for at least a year and a half.  Maybe you could follow the
same model.

----------------------

See the `How to Obtain' section in the "ID-README" file for an explanation of
which archive files you need.

ID-ARCHIVE               - This file summarizing InfoDock archives

ID-INSTALL               - InfoDock installation instructions
ID-NEWS                  - What's new in this and earlier InfoDock versions
ID-README                - Introductory information on InfoDock
ID-ROADMAP               - Roadmap of the internal organization of InfoDock

infodock.ps.gz           - Postscript version of the InfoDock manual

id-elf-linux.tar.gz      - Binaries for Elf-format x86 systems
...                        One archive per binary format.

id-info.tar.gz           - Online Info versions of InfoDock manuals
id-man.tar.gz            - Texinfo source of InfoDock manuals
                           and X and Postscript screen shots used
                           within these manuals
id-ps.tar.gz             - Postscript versions of InfoDock manuals

id-misc.tar.gz           - InfoDock support subdirectories

id-xe-src.tar.gz         - XEmacs main C source
id-xe-el.tar.gz          - XEmacs Lisp source files
id-xe-elc.tar.gz         - XEmacs Lisp byte-compiled files
id-xe-lib-src.tar.gz     - XEmacs auxillary program source
id-xe-info.tar.gz        - XEmacs Info online manuals
id-xe-man.tar.gz         - XEmacs Texinfo source manuals


The id-xe-elc archive is generated to include each .el file which does not
have a corresponding .elc file.  I can send you the make target that does
this if you like.

Bob
