I build this especially for grace, which right now shows it's help with
lynx in an xterm window. It looks quite nice with XmHTML.

This is necessary because neither XmHTML nor libhelp are available
as official cygwin package and one of those libraries is needed to
use the internal helpviewer.

I will move the docu to /usr/share/doc.

Will do that too.

Will be removed.
Thanks for the review.
