What is the unversioned link to the latest available API
reference of a library?

Will old documentation versions be kept there?

What is the Right Way to reference on-line documentation
of other libraries when there are version numbers now?
Do I have to pick a particular version?

Work is currently under way in gtk-doc to neutralize the
cross-references to other libraries to on-line locations
when making dists -- and to fix them in `make install' to
local files if the corresponding local documentation is
found (without having to perform the dreadful HTML rebuild).
In most cases this means people will get working cross-links
instead of random hrefs such as
/home/mclasen/gnome-2.18/install/share/gtk-doc/html/glib
However, if they are left with the on-line cross-links,
these links should be functional.
