Documentation for libdotconf-dev?

Hi,
I was recently looking at libdotconf-dev, wondering if it might be a good
fit for a project I'm working on at the moment. However, I found very
little documentation under /usr/share/doc/libdotconf-dev; at least, very
little that didn't assume you already knew all about the package, exactly
what it can do, etc (or, at least, all about earlier versions of it).
In addition, though, in the examples/README file under that directory,
there's reference to looking something up in "the documentation": that
seems to indicate that there is, indeed, more extensive documentation.
Where it is, though, is currently beating me. There's no info
documentation, only a single, very short manpage, and very little in the
/usr/share/doc/libdotconf-dev directory itself. In addition, the other
libdotconf package (the runtime library) has even less documentation, and
I can't find any sign of a separate -doc package.
Finally, there's no mention in the package info of a homepage for the
package, and a Google search didn't bring much up.
I could certainly go through the examples, and piece things together from
those, but given that one of the main selling points of the package is
supposed to be its ease of use, I can't quite believe that this is what
they intend users to do - particularly if you're just trying to work out
whether the package is a good fit for what you're after...
Any input appreciated!
Cheers,
Nikhil.
