Yes. To the point that I guess I just need to give up trying to
figure out what you're trying to say. :-)

I never noticed this before because I've always created a 'current'
rewrite statement pointing to my most current *locally-installed*
version of the stylesheets. So GTK-Doc as always worked.

But just recently the 'current' rewrite statement was removed from
the BLFS instructions (not sure why) and now GTK-Doc doesn't build.

I think we need to add a 'current' rewrite statement to the XSL
stylesheets instructions, or to GTK-Doc. Going on hazy memory of the
last few messages from the various folks on this subject, it seems the
consensus was to re-add the 'rewrite' statements back into the XSL
stylesheets.

Kinda sucks that GTK-Doc is broken as is. Something needs to be
done. We need to figure out some checks-and-balances system that
we can put into place that will look out for these types of
breakages. Updating one package and pulling out some of the existing
instructions, in an attempt to 'better' the instructions, only to
find out later that it breaks something else, is something we need to
watch out for.
