Thanks very much Bruce - this is really helpful! I've never taken a look 
at that makefile but will do so.

I will say that, as the manual is quite large, a local GNU Info version 
would be great to be able to traverse different sections, etc, more 
easily. If that doesn't exist already, I wonder if a tool like `pandoc` 
could be employed to generate that.

As others on the thread have suggested, building or fetching the HTML 
locally may also work. In terminal environment, I suppose one could use 
`lynx` or similar to navigate around.
