I will keep that in mind.

Last time (about a year or more ago), when I used jhbuild, it was quite 
messy and pulled in hundreds of libraries etc. and I got endless list of 
errors about stuff that was missing. After that I have never used it 
again. Isnt it possible to just compile the documentation with make?

Something like:
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-html-dir=html
./make sgml
./make html

If I understand the readme correctly that should work, but it doesnt.
