I disagree. When I encounter a new program, I start looking at FAQs,
introductions, readmes, screenshots, etc. The manual is the last thing
I'd be looking for.
More to the point, many of the questions on the mailing list indicate
that the manual isn't even read *after* downloading and running lily.
