No, because I wanted to have the ability to be able to add 
documentation incrementally (that is, to start off with one set of 
modules, and then add others over time), with everything knitting 
together nicely. If I do this, I want to do it properly (so that, for 
example, root can install the main Ruby docs, and then individual users 
can add their own docs as non-root, and from their perspective the 
stuff they added would hyperlink correctly to the system wide 
documentation).

In the meantime, there's a neat hack over on ruby-doc that takes RDoc 
output and converts it to RI format.

Cheers
