Thanks Henry,

Tried it first with the latest Vala (0.11.6) and that didn't work but
indeed with 0.10.3 it was OK.
The next error was this:

  GEN    man/systemd.1
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
warning: failed to load external entity
"http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl"
cannot parse http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl

Removing the --nonet option from the XSLTPROC_FLAGS variable in
Makefile.am takes things forward but still, it takes forever to go
past man pages. I think man pages and html files took an hour to
complete.

Looking forward to play with it because conceptually looks very promising.
