Oh... OK. Seems like I optimized too much recently, so that latex was
not called as often as I intended. Thanks for the hint. I will look into
this issue.

I don't think it is worth to waste your time with a review, but to
explain the whole process, I need more time. Wait a little. I try to put
the things together. Unfortunatly, although I've put some comments into
src/doc/Makefile.in, it id not soo easy to see what is going on before
latex can be started.
In short.
There are pictures generated (the graphics in the book).
Some .ht pages are created from the .htex files.
The commands in the .htex files are executed and their output is
collected (as tex output) back into the .tex file.
More details later. Maybe I add it to the beginning of the Makefile.in.

Maybe here our views differ. I somehow tend to keep the book close to
its original form and rather create a new book or other forms of
tutorials, but if more people rather want to see a modernized version of
the content of the book, I am not against such a change. In the end it
is much more important for current users to have helpful documentation.
The historical version of the book can always be retrieved from the time
when my commits are included. That is why we have version control.
