That's ok, since makedoc runs before the hhc command. Anyway, it's really
weird that hhc always returns nonzero even if there weren't errors. Maybe
they used the void i_dont_care_main(void) signature...
BTW, the target fails if no multiple html files where generated. I put
a simple check for that, but it's not failsafe: you can create single
file html help, then run chm-docs after putting the @multiplefiles
command. It's certainly weird, but to avoid this it would be nicer
if the chm-docs command generated the needed html files in some new
docs/chm directory, so it would always be safe that the files are there
and correctly generated.
Anyway, it's a low priority wishlist, since the user has to put a lot
on his part to trigger this error. Finally, added some docs about this.
