The file is built from the directories in $RHOME/library: For each
directory I look if  $RHOME/library/$pkg/TITLE exists and use the
contents of the TITLE file as entry for the package list.

You can build the also by calling

	${RHOME}/etc/build-help --htmllists

The entry points always to

	$RHOME/library/$pkg/html/00Index.$HTML

so by replacing this file you can provide your own HTML documentation.

Hope this helps,
Fritz
