This will be a  really cool tool.I always have to refer to the documentation
from the C-Code while writing vala code.I have to switch back and forth in
the devhelp between C-Code doc and vala binding doc.
At same time open a web page of valadoc.org for searching since devhelp
search sometime just does not work.

So you also maintained the devhelp books for vala binding documentions?

I have a lot of devhelp books ,the catalog on the left of devhelp really
clutters and vala books make the mess even worse.
I wonder if all these vala books can be put in one submenu in devhelp.
