Well that was the plan - I was going to make pretty docs for the web
and printing - but there is not much stopping me from pulling them out
of cvs to do so - so its no big deal. 

The only question I have about the Makefile process is that I am
pretty sure that on gnome-hackers or gnome-devel it was decided that
any docs that had to run through jade would do so *before* the
tarballs were generated because of all the complaints from people who
don't have any sgml related tools on their system. Not to mention the
amazing amount of time it adds to the build process.

Again, its not my package - but its something you might mention to
him.
