Subject: A RDoc template without frames

Despite the snazzy look of the new default RDoc templates with three 
panes at the top, I keep coming back to the original flat look of 
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/builtins.html. There's something deeply 
usable with having all the modules and methods take up a full screen 
instead of being cramped into tiny panes at the top. Of course, it 
could also be, as Dave Thomas suggested, that I'm just "getting old and 
inflexible".

Regardless of which, I'd be terribly appreciative if anyone had the 
insight and energy to make a set of RDoc templates that used this flat 
format with 1 index and 1 page per module. I'd *really* like to have it 
for the unveiling of the new Ruby on Rails site, which is coming 
shortly.

Even Dave says its not supposed to be that hard: "...if someone wanted 
to create a new output template and generator, it would be fairly 
simple: just change the stuff that generates the current top frame to 
store it all in one file, not three"

Anyone up for it? :)
