Building static HTML help pages in R 2.10.x on Windows

For what it is worth, I would gladly sacrifice this capability in
order to be able to consult all my R help pages through a Firefox
bookmark to the packages listing (which is what I used to do, and will
do again, when I get time to either rebuild from source or get the
forthcoming Fedora RPM, which will have static pages as the default),
without starting an R session.

A more useful example than ls() would be methods().   I think it would 
be nice to have a list of methods included in the man page for a generic 
function, and links to their pages if they have their own man pages.  
You might want to list all installed methods, with some sort of 
highlighting to indicate which ones are already attached, or perhaps be 
able to toggle between installed and attached, or whatever.  None of 
that is possible with static help, not even a list of installed methods, 
because someone might install a new package that offers some others 
after the static help has already been built.

You just need to use some imagination.
