      Just try to extract the documentation tarfile on a Mac.
      The fully qualified classnames are too long (Macs have a
      limit of 31 characters). I might try renaming them, but
      then I'll have to go through and edit all the links.

      This was not a problem with 1.0.2 documentation; has javadoc
      changed?

      The straightforward solution would be to map package names to
      subdirectories, to keep the individual pathname components
      short.

      I might also point out that, if you want to put the docs on
      CD, you'll either have to limit yourselves to 8.3 filenames
      (ISO-9660 is extremely restrictive) or be (gasp) platform-
      dependent.
