This list is getting out of hand:

                     Read the Administrator's Guide online
                     Download the Postscript version of the Administrator's Guide

                     Download the Postscript version of the Developer's Guide
                     Download the HTML version of the Developer's Guide

                     Read the Integrated Docs online
                     Download the HTML version of the Integrated Docs

                     Read the Programmer's Guide online

                     Download the HTML version of the Reference Manual

                     Read the User's Guide online

                     Download the HTML version of the User's Guide

There should only be one link "Read Documentation Online".  When you click
on that you get all the tables of content and you can make a much better
decision which book you actually want to read.

In any case, this list could be better organized visually.  Maybe
something like

_Read Documentation Online_

_Download the Documentation_

* HTML

    Complete documentation set (tar.gz, 648k)
    Complete documentation on a single page (xxxk)

    Administrator's Guide (tar.gz, xxxk)
    Administrator's Guide on a single page (xxxk)

    Developers' Guide (tar.gz, xxxk)
    etc.

* Postscript

    Administrator's Guide [ A4 ] [ US Letter ]
    Developer's Guide [ A4 ] [ US Letter ]
    etc.

* PDF

Should we integrate these into the build system?
