I think I now know what you want. You want a shell script that would  
take each link in the http://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts file, convert the  
html data into text of the linked file, then append that text to a  
file called BUILDING. So in the end we have a file called BUILDING  
that would look like this:


QEMU Building Directions:

AIX
.....

Darwin
.....

FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
....

Linux
.....

Mac OS X
....

Solaris
....

Windows
....


So now I have to figure out which commands to use. This script would  
have to work on all operating systems that QEMU is built on. This  
page has some pretty good information on how to do this: http:// 
stackoverflow.com/questions/12422289/bash-command-to-covert-html-page- 
to-a-text-file

I think I will work on a python script to do this job.
