[Mono-osx] F# help for monodoc (was offline docs for macs)

[Ben]

nevermind, i was an idiot and didn't see Tomas included the XML docs with his cross platform fsharp installer, from which monodoc help can be created.  i'm attaching the .source, .tree and .zip files; if you have the cross-platform fsharp installed (http://fsxplat.codeplex.com/) you can create them yourself via the commands

mdoc update -o <dir> -i /usr/lib/fsharp/FSharp.Core.xml \
   /usr/lib/fsharp/FSharp.Core.dll --exceptions=added

mdoc assemble -o fsharpcore <dir>

then make a .source file, and copy into your monodoc sources directory.  perhaps the best thing to do is to ask tomas to make his cross platform installer do this.

best regards, ben

Once I have done that, or have convinced someone to do it for me, I will provide the XML docs for F#, which would be great to include with mono (IMHO.)
