Hmmm.  In that case the makefile is being silly, since we ship pre-built
docs in the tarball...

It looks like if you don't have hevea, htlatex or latex2html installed,
darcs just won't rebuild the html docs, so changing the build-deps to not
include any of these programs may solve the immediate problem (albeit in a
hokey manner).

Indeed, that's pretty silly.

I'm afraid I won't have time for this.  There are some clever folks on
darcs-devel who might be able to work out a nice solution...
