THtml question.

Dear ROOTers,
I am working on different software packages which reside in different directories.
I set up a structure such that each source directory has its own html subdirectory
which contains the automatically ROOT generated html doc of the classes belonging to
that source directory.
However, some packages use classes of other packages and as such I would like to
have the html links pointing to the corresponding files of these other directories,
without having to duplicate all the other .html files.
With the automatic html generator it seems to me that this is not possible.
The only solutions I found is to create all the docs in 1 directory using a ROOT macro,
or alternatively duplicate all the other doc generation in each subdirectory.
Obviously this is not very convenient.
Am I missing something here, or is this limitation indeed present ?
If the limitation is really there, could one then perhaps introduce something like

gHtml->SetLinkDir("./a;./b;./c")

which would make THtml look into the (sub)directories a, b, and c resp. to see whether
the needed .html are there already; and if so, use these in the links. 

In addition I found out that the index for the user code is in USER_Index.html.
In case one would like to contain all docs in 1 big directory, it would be nice to
be able to specify to THtml that one would like to extend the docs (i.e. index) instead
of overwriting it. In the latter case the existing index info is lost if one uses MakeAll()
to add the docs of a new package.

                                                                      Cheers,
                                                                       Nick.
