This is not increasing my enthusiasm.  The whole reason we chose yodl
way back when was because that meant *one* piece of format-conversion
software was required to produce all the output formats we wanted.
Requiring a greater number of conversion tools from a wider variety of 
sources and that may be available on a smaller number of target OSs, is
not a step forward in my opinion.

It looks OK based on the Cygwin screen shot, but I'm not going to
install it just to find out.

Well, no, neither do I, but that's a limitation of the info format.
