Fine by me, just tell me if you want to do this so I can put this into
this "find a help file" routine.

OK, second cut at standard help paths:

APPNAME/CHAPTERNAME/SECTION

And this would translate into

/gnome/share/help/APPNAME/html/language/CHAPTERNAME.html/#SECTION

(assuming one was asking for the html version).

How does docbook map subsection names into HTML? If I have a <sect2
id="blah"> inside a <sect1 id="foo">, will the <a name="..."> tag to get
to section2 be #foo_blah or #blah or what?
