That one might be actually easy - when the wikihelp is online, I'd
default to not building the internal help at all, and instead focus on
converting it from the wiki version to the platform-native (Windows /
MacOSX / Gnome / KDE [but IIRC, KDE was able to read the Gnome's help
natively too]) for the releases.  And cut all the help-related code ;-)

Objections / support / thoughts?
