Well, how about if you sit down and make such a list? Then at least we
could add these explanations to the library docs and to other utilities,
as their maintainers see fit.
The problem is always to write the material, not to display it. The lack
of docs is first and foremost due to lack of people who are willing to
invest the non-trivial effort of writing up the text, not beacuse it's
rocket science to display that text at a mouse click.
Experience shows that nothing in DJGPP gets done without dedicated
individuals that volunteer to do it.
