Re: Tutorial as non-SGML

["Shawn T . Amundson" <amundson gimp org>]

I think the best way to go about doing this is to create autoconf tests
to build the html (and whatever) if the correct tools are installed, and
then have them autogenerated for anyone with those tools.  Then we can
simply put the html files (and whatever) into EXTRA_DIST.
