I'm probably the ideal person, but I'm away at a music camp for
the next week, so will have very little time.  If this request
could wait until the 26th, I'd have much more time.

The short answer is that we use texinfo, which has a few nice
parts but a few bad parts.  I think it's the best documentation
format for nicely-formatted pdfs and html output (at leats, that
seemed to be the case in 2008), but there *are* some really
annoying parts.

If you start looking at texinfo and try to think of specific
questions about how it might work with your project, I could give
more specific answers.  :)

Cheers,
