Hmm.

I've got a latex2html here which is installed from a FreeBSD port
(textproc/latex2html).  No idea how good this might be.

It's probably a better online documentation for many people.  I've
recently hearing some Windows guy here groaning when i threatened him
to send some docs as PDF.  Did you ever think a startup time of 3
seconds on my FreeBSD for it is insanely long?  His Winwhatever takes
9 seconds, on a CPU that's twice as fast as mine...

Yes, teTeX should be there, and i think Eric already has it since
doxygen (needed by avr-libc) uses it to format the result.
