I'll write the faq2txt.pl.

Yep, I'll put my stuff into doc/faq/.

This for Peter Masiar for suggesting the Twiki. There are quite a lot of us
who hae used wiki and I think it would be grat if we had more people writing
docs and web pages. 

As fas as I can see neither twiki or FAQ-O-Matic can generate a plain text
version to be included into distribution.
