I'm talking about the installation on a computer of the relase documentation
in HTML-single format. If, for example, I want it for 1.0pre5 I have to
go to http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/cvs/, find the cvs snapshot of the 
same day of the relase and use it's xml source.
If the xml is included in the relase tarball, I don't have to do this extra step.
Of course, this doesn't apply if I'm installing from CVS. Everything is there.
