Thats the spirit ;-)

Well I caught Alberto on irc and I'm CC'ing the glade devel list (you should
make sure your subscribed) so that we can all talk about it on the list,
I'm sure pachi and him will help you out with some of the technical aspects
and have some good ideas to throw in the mix...

Its building the user manual not the reference docs, and currently I dont have
a --disable-gnome-doc for some reason, I should though.

This is not usually a problem for someone who has gnome-doc-utils installed,
you can work around it by commenting out GNOME_DOC_INIT in configure.ac
and taking out the help subdir from the toplevel Makefile.am, right now I dont
have time to trouble shoot it or fix --disable-gnome-doc (which is what should
be done probably from configure.ac).
