Stuart,

I have three questions/comments on the build systems.  Maybe this is
something that you you still want in 8.6.3:


On "make install"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Without these previous calls (mentioned in INSTALL.txt) make install
fails:

   # python a2x.py -f manpage doc/asciidoc.1.txt
   # python a2x.py -f manpage doc/a2x.1.txt

What are the reasons to not integrate this into the Makefile so make
install actually depends on them so that they get executed?
Would you accept patches for this?


Generation of file BUGS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The files four files README, BUGS, INSTALL, and CHANGELOG seem to be
shipped with tarballs only.  I was not able to find out, how you
generate these files.  What commands do you run?  Could you add a make
target for it?  It is of interested for building packages right from a
mercurial checkout.


Variable "manpdir" in Makefile.in
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Could it be that this line can be remove from Makefile.in?

  manpdir = $(mandir)/man1

I dont see $(manpdir) used anywhere.


Best,



Sebastian
