I was looking into that and I figured using the \G expression in Perl
REs would be useful for this (to find multiple <refname>s). But this
was introduced in Perl 5.000, and we claim to support Perl 4 in
create_help.pl. I recall that you Tom once arranged this to support
building on some old machines. Is this still relevant?

Or can someone advise on an alternative way to code this?
