I hacked together a quick tool to build the HTML tables directly from 
class definitions, class comments and method comments, after pruning out 
all methods defined by superclasses of a particular class.  I then 
edited the files with a text editor, improving method comments, and 
combining or deleting methods where appropriate for the purposes of a 
Quick Reference.

It was not made for public consumption (seriously ugly code, mostly 
thrown together in a workspace), but if I can find the image in which I 
had it, I'd be pleased to share.  (Things like this are trivial to 
build, by the way.  Its a good exercise in learning the system 
organization.)
