    Howdy brats.
    
    I would like to suggest some modifications to brdocbrat. I've experienced
    lately that the ROOT home pages have been inaccessible an anoying number
    of times. Of course this occurs when I need these pages the most. (This
    seems to be a law in nature.)
    
    Also, especially for those using laptop I presume it is usefull to be able
    to reference ROOT without having to get online.
    
    Thefore I suggest updating brdocbrat to allow creation of local ROOT html
    documentation. I've attached a suggestive script that does this. I.e. the
    script has to be made with make just like brdocbrat.in -> brdocbrat.
    Those who are interested can rename it brdocbrat.in and put it in their
    <brat source dir>/applications/misc/, run make and test it as the usual
    brdocbrat. If one does not specify the ROOT source directory, the script
    behaves like the current brdocbrat and uses ROOT html documentation from
    the ROOT web pages.
    
    As a comment the other way around it would be to download the complete
    ROOT html tree, but I think this is a better way, at least regarding HD
    space.
    
    Best wishes from
    Jens Ivar
