yes!

Sorry, I don't know much about the helpbrowser, but which metadata do 
you need to parse for that ?

and why is this a "workaround" - now you also have simply the 
5.reference folder in the help browser, then you would have the extra 
folder ...

Okay, I can make #2 happen (should be as easy as changing helpdir = 
$(libpddir)/extra in Makefile.buildlayout), but I have not much 
knowledge about the browser stuff ...
