[gentoo-user] Index to /usr/share/doc/...html... a reinvented wheel?

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I emerge with the doc USE flag and generally have a bunch of stuff in
/usr/share/doc.  Most of the time it's the HTML stuff I want to read, but
it's a annoyingly laborious to wade through unindexed directgories and get a
browser pointing to the right thing.  So I wrote a little Perl script to
create a top-level "index.html", organized by package and with a bit of
rudimentary pruning.  I bookmarked it in Firefox, and can get to things a
lot faster now.  I like the result, and will continue to tweak it here and
there.

Did I just reinvent a wheel? If not, is there any point it trying to make
this part of gentoo?  If so, how would one do that?

Current script attached.
