John - There's another approach that Jacob Berkman and Dan Mueth set up
for the gnome-applets and gnome-core. It uses a pair of files (which
you'll have to merge together when doing this for a single application):

gnome-applets/applet-docs.make

and then a separate Makefile.am for each applet, for example:

gnome-applets/gweather/docs/C/Makefile.am

See if that offers some clues.

Cheers,

John
