It's true that the INRIA distribution method is rather unusual.
But believe it or not, it made my life much easier when porting
this to -current, because I had the complete original source files
at hand rather than having to download a full 2.2.5 source release.
I assume that's why this method was chosen. OTOH, for the end user,
this complicates the process a lot.

Anyway it's not difficult at all to generate patches from these,
that's what I do for my port to -current.

Regarding the docs, I agree that WIDE has an edge on this.
