Thanks for all your hard work on this over the past years. It's greatly
appreciated.

I've already done this one.

Once 2.2 is out, we should redo the build system for gnome-applets. I've
avoided this because of the difficulty of refitting a liner's steam room
while it's in the middle of a transatlantic voyage, but g-a's docs build
is still using the old make system for omf files.

One wonders if Malcolm and Jody are interested in resurrecting the idea
of a more robust docs build infrastructure post 2.2?

Cheers,
John
