Probably, I just took the easiest route. That way it gets updated as
well. And since it was an optional feature. And since that stylesheet
depends on other stylesheets which depend on images etc, with some
fairly fixed paths in them...

Yes, Peter made a point about preferring that back when we changed the
developer docs to be on the main website (how it got worse but at

But it would be easy enough to flip the switch and instead have a make
STYLE=light or something like that...
