OK. If you intend to use yelp, then you will want scrollkeeper too. This 
requires OMF's. Sivang wanted an OMF per book as he felt that third parties 
may use the docs. Once you use inter-doc links they become dependant on one 
another, so I voted for a single OMF with multiple resources (1 for each 
book) and each resource having its own seriesid.

I have a bug to take a look at this. You see once you use g:help linking 
between the books, the links no longer outside of yelp/scrollkeeper.
