Developers don't need web sites.  They need pdf files documenting the
chips.

Contrast Via's web site to the following:

	 http://wikis.sun.com/display/FOSSdocs/Home 

It took us a very long time to get Sun to do this, and it was totally
worth it.  It is kind of strange to us to have Sun suddenly be the
perfect example of openness.

Pay close attention to how VIA is only talking about their newest
flashiest chips, too.
