There may well be a case for MCMC in C.
Translation, please.
Agreed, but unfortunately it's hard if not impossible to get
seamless cross-referencing across distinct PDF files. Does anyone
have a suggestion other than creating a whopping great PDF
containing both the Guide and the Reference?
I suggest TEX2HTML or something like
that.
You would still author in TEX and produce HTML (both online and offline).
I am not talking by experience, but willing to investigate.

Well, those "methods" chapters are separate TeX files, so I'd say
it's pretty much modular as is: it's trivial to drop in a new
chapter if one becomes available.

There should be some PDF magic that makes that possible. Any PDF
jockeys out there?
Done some work in this area with professional software and Open
Office.
Is the idea if open the example in Gretl from a link in the document?
