There lies the problem. Making these text files is still guesswork
and/or manual polishing, because the tools always change and no one
tool works well on at least HISTORY and INSTALL at the same time. The
HISTORY generatation has a makefile rule that appears to work well for
Bruce, but I actually wrote it to work on my machine, but now I get the
same problem that you state. For INSTALL, lynx gives terrible results,
and for the past few releases I've been using a tool named html2txt,
but that still requires manual cleanup. In short, automatic generation
of text files that works every time is still an open problem.
