Nope...

Fine, we like to hear about bugs...  :-}

My fault, already fixed.

I'll have a look into it.

Yes, SGML docs are dead, long live XML. :-) To e.g. recursively build
all HTML documentation simply use

    make html

or to recursively build and install all documentation in HTML and PostScript:

    make XMLDocWays="html ps" install-docs

This reminds me of the fact that I should update the documentation in the
HEAD a little bit... Furthermore, with our current build system there is no
need for a build.mk anymore IMHO.

Cheers,
