I can confirm that it fails if the sgmlspl program is not installed.

So, here's what we know:

1. If you don't have docbook-utils installed, you simply have to pass
--disable-docs to configure and everything is cool.

2. If you have docbook-utils installed, you must also have the SGMLSpm
Perl Module and JadeTeX installed, else the build will fail.

3. Dan came up with a hack that works also.

4. I'd bet that it would be simple to modify configure.[in,ac]
(whichever it is) to do a proper docbook check so that the
--disable-docs actually works, and also to properly check for *all*
the docbook tools before updating the Makefile to build docs.

Dan, could you summarize all this (#1 can be left out) in the Note
box in the fontconfig instructions when you get a chance? I'm kinda
busy with GNOME and want to get it committed this evening. TIA.

I will do #4 and send upstream when I'm done with GNOME, unless you
want to do it Dan.
