make dist *WILL NOT* require xsltproc, docbook-xsl. It will actually only distribute the sources, no generation of files. > make, make install: don't require xsltproc and docbook-xsl, use the > pre-generated man files. make *WILL* require xsltproc and docbook-xsl if and only if --enable-man and/or --enable-doc is specified at configure.
