Postgres docs in .chm format --- is this possible?

This seems a very helpful thing, but a problem with an unofficial
conversion is that it can become out of sync with actual docs. So,
a question: is it possible to have an "official" .chm conversion of docs
available for download, as currently are .ps and .pdf?

The documentation doesn't change at random. If the conversion was based
on the documentation set provided with an official release then it's just
as good as any other.

That sure looks nice, though. I've played around in the past with an
SGML tool chain of:

SGML->RTF->Custom Post Processor->WinHelp

but it never looked quite as good as the .CHM file below. Perhaps the
pgAdmin people should set up an automatic SGML->CHM conversion and
provide an option to ship the docs with pgAdmin. A searchable,
downloadable, bookmarkable HTML-based documentation set sure is nice.
