Yeah, I didn't say it, but I agree it was a poor suggestion,
especially in light of:

Here's what I think: Everything that generates is required to generate
the HTML code should be moved to the GDB directory. gdb/ari/ seems
fine to me, but others might want to comment. Unless the location
is critical to the implementation, which I hope it won't be, you
can start working on the move and submit patches. It should be
relatively easy to change the names if other suggestions appear.

On a user-interface level, it would be nice if the script that generates
the HTML was callable from out of tree, a little like configure.
I could create the HTML is a directory called "ari" located in
the current directory, for instance...

As far as I am concerned, you are the official ARI Maintainer :).
We'll make that official-official as soon as the code is moved
to the GDB repository by adding a section in the MAINTAINERS file.
