Well, you can plug into the 'various' node directly (I admit that fact
didn't sink in before), but you lose the ability to organize within that
level, and some doc sources don't make sense without a custom toplevel
node. For instance, if I have:

  <source provider="monohb" basefile="mbuild-devguide" path="various"/>

as my source, I get:

+ Various
    DiaCanvas libraries
  + NUnit Libraries
    Mono Debugger
    Preface
    Framework
    Command-line Client
    Appendices

all merged together. With the patch, I define a node in the source file
and get:

+ Various
    DiaCanvas libraries
  + NUnit Libraries
    Mono Debugger
  + MBuild Developer's Guide
        Preface
        Framework
        Command-line Client
        Appendices

And I could organize the Developer's Guide and the API docs under a
common MBuild node if I wanted, etc.
