[Freewx-maint] Bug#643287: wx2.8-doc: wx.hhp gzipped

[Kevin Ryde]

Package: wx2.8-doc
Version: 2.8.10.1-3.1
Severity: normal

I tried to open the wx manual in a wxHtmlHelpController with the bit of
wxperl below, but it gave an error dialog

    Cannot open contents file: 

(no message after the colon).

Is the wx.hhp usable by the help system when gzipped?  I got some joy
from uncompressing it plus wx.hhc.gz and wx.hhk.gz.  Could they be
provided uncompressed in the package so they can be used?

I see the help controller thing might accept a .zip file, dunno if
that's better than .gz format.
