/**
 * Note:
 * Prior to the creation of this file, all the code associated to the help
 * browser existed in a single file src/help.cpp, including all of the
 * widgets, topic generators, and implementation details. This totaled
 * ~4000 lines of code.
 *
 * I have split it all up now, so that the gui aspects are separated from
 * the content, the "front facing" part which the rest of the code base
 * interacts with is in src/help/help.?pp, and the topic generators are
 * separated. The remaining "guts" are here. It is implemented in a static
 * singleton pattern, using "extern"'d variables, simply for ease of translation
 * from the previous state. It would probably be a good idea to rewrite this
 * guy as a proper C++ object. Feel free to do so, or to adopt some other
 * design pattern.
