Actually, screw this patch. pgAdmin3::InitHelp() does some very obscure
magic if a path ends on "index.html", but only for ".html", not for
other endings.
I don't know why the old Greenplum documentation link worked before - it
ends in "index.html". It definitely does not work anymore, but that is
another patch.
