-==== HTML Help
-
-HTML Help is used to create the User’s and Developer’s Guide in .chm format.
-The User’s Guide .chm file is included with the NSIS and WiX installers and
-is used as Wireshark's built-in help on Windows.
-
-This compiler is used to generate a .chm file from a bunch of HTML files -- in
-our case to generate the User’s and Developer’s Guide in .chm format.
-
-The compiler is only available as the free (as in beer) "HTML Help Workshop"
-download. If you want to compile the guides yourself, you need to download and
-install this. If you don't install it into the default directory, you may also
-have a look at the HHC_DIR setting in the file docbook/Makefile.
-
-The files `htmlhelp.c` and `htmlhelp.lib` are required to
-be able to open .chm files from Wireshark and show the
-online help. Both files are part of the SDK (standalone (P)SDK or MSVC
-since 2002).
