But it seems to do exactly what its name suggests it should,
if run as part of the "all:" target.

Indeed, I have been comparing it's output with the commands
I ran for an 8.0 LFS build, that I had saved by hand (so as to
add extra XML into my local copy of the 8.3 Book), and, give
or take a few expected differences, it's a match.

If anything the "dump-commands" target is a useful test of whether
the "examples" and "real commands" are marked up correctly, no ?
