Lorenzo (upstream developer) was pretty bummed when I told him I was considering not including the demos and documentation. I've decided to do the work and package the web resources. The only thing that bothers me is that, so far, one of them requires grunt; which is a dead package and I'll have to maintain it. I don't have a particular taste for javascript or node-related packages. Didn't want to end up maintaining that one... but here I am... Well, will have to read about how to resurrect dead packages.

Upstream suggested this but I think it's better to offer the doxygen documentation as is so that upstream doesn't need to start worrying about PDF files now. Thanks for the offer, though. :D
