That would be http://stdlib-doc.rubyforge.org :)   (CVS only)

I think the instructions are reasonably clear.  I'll help you through
it anyway to make sure they are.  Summary:

  1. Edit the etc/cfg/stdlib-doc.yaml file to point to the source dir

  2. ruby stdlib-doc.rb gendoc --all

That should be it, really.
