Thanks for the information, but isn't a bit late in the 2.3 schedule to be
waiting 2 weeks for releases?

I noticed that the docs/C/Makefile.am (and the other locales too) was
including an sgmldocs.make file that didn't exist. Copying the .make files
into the top directory and using xmldocs.make instead does not seem to have
improved things. I will check the changes in later today so other people can
see them.
