Perhaps not everyone would want the html version, either.  Maybe we
ought to think about dividing the download into "sources" and then
several alternative forms of "docs":
postgres-7.1-src.tar.gzpostgres-7.1-docs-html.tar.gzpostgres-7.1-docs-ps.tar.gzpostgres-7.1-docs-pdf.tar.gz

That way everyone can pick the format(s) they want, and not waste time
downloading what they don't want.
