The NetBSD nan patch is integrated; thanks again (I'm sure I sent this

Not sure when ( almost before my time! )
Sorry, I am confused. It is in my local tree as a patch that I rebase,
and hence in the tarball I generated.
make distcheck fails because it doesn't carry the CPPFLAGS from the
invocation of configure. (Not sure if that's legimately a bug, and I
don't expect any of you to fix it, but thought I'd mention it.)
Interesting observation - my CPPFLAGS '-O0 -g' to make debugging easier.
This is carried over into make distcheck, on a Debian Unstable AMD64
make --version
GNU make 3.86
Hmm. I'll have to check that harder.
Hmm, I think I have may have (indirectly) removed help from tarball in
trying to simplify the build dependencies.
In principal *only* a 'full' build generates the help PDF from the
DocBook XML help - this is more of a Windows build
simplification/avoidance, especially since the help Makefile relies on
../gnome-doc-utils.make' which may not be available - how to do
conditional 'includes' in a Makefile anyone?).
Unfortunately I now see that some of the 'src' depends on the XML if
you have 'xsltproc' available on your system, as then documenters.h is
generated by processing the xml file.
Personally I find automake Makefile.am a horrid interwoven web of
implicit Macros in an obscure language I don't use anywhere else - so
it's hard to know what's right!
I'd like to put the XML help in the source generation, but not
actually use it in a build but how (given the Makefile has an
include statement) ?
I'm not sure what to do, but I wonder if making the xsltproc part of the
build non-optional would help. gtk doc tools and xsltproc are pretty
normal on any machine beefy enough to run viking, I would think.
I think gnome-doc-utils.make is available in the tarball. Or are you
worried about Windows users building from source when they don't have
the doc tarballs?
I wonder if it's easy to omit the build rules, but to leave the
additions to the distfiles.
