Can't we just make our existing rules fatal. I really don't see the point in treating docs errors as non-fatal. If the docs are not built, or are outdated, we should try to build them and fail if the tools aren't present. We already require libxml.so be present, so requiring the libxml/libxslt cli tools really isn't a burden in the great scheme of things. IOW, we should remove all the @if test -x $(XMLLINT) && test -x $(XMLCATALOG) ; then \ @if [ -x $(XSLTPROC) ] ; then \ conditionals, and just let 'make' do its normal deps calculation and errore reporting. As long as the docs are included in the tar.gz people building fro mthe tar.gz will still not build the docs.
