That's why I think JSDoc2 is ultimately far more interesting for us.  
It will allow us to generate the docs using purely JS/Rhino, without  
depending on Perl at all. So, I don't think it matters very much  
"how" we get the docs into the packages for the helma 1.6 release,  
since we'll most likely change from JSDoc to JSDoc2 anyway,
