Thanks for doing this. One thing I'd like to point out is that we're
not allowing building of the man pages, but rather installing the
prebuilt pages.

Can you just wrap at the comma so the test isn't broken up? Also,
please indent on continued lines.

AM_CONDITIONAL([HAVE_MANPAGE_SRC],
    [test -f "$srcdir/man/XTestQueryExtension.man" || test
"x$have_xmlto" = xyes])

I'm not sure HAVE_MANPAGE_SRC is the best name. The source is the xml
and it's always there. Rather, this test determines whether we're
going to install the pages. I would call this INSTALL_MANPAGES or
something. Not a big deal, though.
