The problem is to generate the .html files, as this can be a bit tricky ;-)

Missunderstanding. KDE and/or GNOME uses similar (namely HTML based) mechanisms to show help. But they don't use .chm files - the .chm file format is Win32 only AFAIK - so having .chm files is pretty useless on UNIX.
In fact I don't know the details what KDE/GNOME would need to show help in their "native help" mechanisms. I'll leave it as an excercise for the interested reader ;-)
