I'd heard of this before but I didn't really look at it until now. I must say I'm very impressed.

Do you (and/or Murray) envision the Install Preview to be a part of the DocProj documentation set? I'm wondering if it might be something to package up along with RELNOTESng, although this only exists in -CURRENT right now. There's some important distinctions to make with respect to CVS branches. In any case, I can think of at least a couple of places in the RELNOTESng documents where we ought to put a pointer to the Install Preview. It sounds like it might be getting a new URL soon? Nice job!
