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.

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.
