Hi Emmanuele,

I grabbed gnome-utils from CVS and checked it over.  I don't seem
to be able to compile gnome-utils on this machine at the moment,
probably because I'm missing some new development goodness.  But
I can run autogen/configure (which might mean your configure checks
aren't strict enough).

Anyway, I was able to run make and make check in all three help
directories.  I manually looked over your source and build files,
as well as the files gnome-doc-utils generates, and everything
really looks fine.  If make distcheck passes for you, then you
probably have everything right.  The gnome-doc-utils stuff is
very strict about check and distcheck.
