Right. It was not my intention to test for bugs. The objective is to
specify a minimum version that will correctly build the docbooks. I
recall the reason for specifying "no" was because fop was crashing
(which I verified to be the case).

I thought that asking for 1.0 was a general improvement over the current
situation. As with any other tool it is not a promise that it will work
correctly, all the time. on all platforms, for all documents.

Help me chose the lesser of the two evils. I have no problem keeping the
"no". 

This works, but looks silly:

        XORG_WITH_FOP([1.0],[no])

Suggestions, votes?

        XORG_WITH_FOP([],[no])?

Note there is a similar situation with xmlto 0.0.22. The text output is
garbled with 0.0.21. Same for doxygen.

When build often crashes due to docs, there is a vocal crowd demanding
that all docs be banned from the build. Then nobody has any docs and
nothing gets tested.

Thanks for your interest.
