This is good news; while I did not love Hadley Wickham's decision to put
documentation of ggplot2 on an external server, I can understand his
rationale that documenting a graphics package in ASCII/Unicode is not a good
idea.

Maybe we should have a small-footprint portable help server that could be
run as a service/daemon without the overhead of calling rterm for 2.10.
