I don't know if you'd want to, but you mentioned interest in not 
having too much work for the maintenance; would you like to just have the 
css point to octave's css and make a few modifications to fit with what 
you've already got?  That would conflict with John wanting the sites to 
appear differently, though.

Also, if you want the id set for the current page (to get the graying and 
right justification), that could probably be done via javascript rather 
easily.

Also, how difficult would it be to just put the package function reference 
at the bottom of the package page?  There aren't significant details on 
the regular package page, and the number of functions in each package 
don't appear to be excessively large.  The reason I ask is that I found 
myself clicking that on each package page.
