it seems that, after it's built everything via the build.sh you so nicely
supply, the xserver build popr an error saying that make doesn't know how to
build ChangeLog.  I then try to build it lcoally in the xserver build (something
that normally works for testing) and the build simply completes normally.
That's obviously a problem of imprtance only later, after everything else works,
but it means that xserver never gets to the installation, unless I do that
manually afterwards, when it works fine.

You folks REALLY need a top level Makefile, one that manipulates the autogen
stuff, all that, correctly.  If anyone wanted that, I'm really rather good at
it.  Would you like something like that?  I'd need some questions answered ...

Far as that goes, I still can't get the docs built, I don't know what tools to
use, or after that, the commandline to build them.  I *really* wish you folks
had used DocBook instead of LinuxDoc, DocBook is far better supported, a far
wider schema, and it's much better maintained, by a far larger audience.
