I was talking about monodoc/browser/monodoc.xml, which appears to be 
part of how monodoc figures out what to load and how to do it. This 
makes project X unable to easily install documentation that monodoc will 
just find. I could be wrong, and that xml file isnt used for loading at 
all, but I am pretty sure it is. That is what im talking about needing 
to change, to make monodoc able to display docs for installed 
documentation of any kind, not just stuff we publish.
