Will it do anything if you don't modify all the Makefile.am's to add #if
HAVE_W3M ?   If you don't want text documentation generated, we should give
a flag for that instead of guessing which utility xmlto might call to generate
it.   If you want to check if xmlto txt works, then again, it seems like we
should check for that instead.
