We should have:
One basis of help content (in whatever format, maybe .pod?),


Perhaps.


 which should be converted automatically to the output formats:

- manpage(s) (unix platforms)
- online help in html format for www.ethereal.com
- manpages in html format for win32 platforms (installed by NSIS)
- GTK built in help for ethereal in ascii? format (every platform)
I'm not sure that the man pages should be the same as the online help. Man pages are typically structured as reference manuals in a single document; help is often done as multiple pages for specific topics.
