You got me impressed until I found out those XML files are only
indices. Boohoo...

You will also have to find why devhelp doesn't locate items which use
case.  Maybe it's my version (0.3) but I can't be redirected to BITMAP
or AUDIOSTREAM, only to fixed or al_ffblk. The xml and html files are ok,
so I guess it's problem of the viewer.

Anyway, now the patch is yours. Please test it and verify under
dos/windows. commit if you are satisfied, I only reorganized a bit
the code.

Changed it to something more reasonable, since we could add that book
in the future to the download page. And now maybe the people of devhelp
will host the allegro book?
