ok, apparently you need to cd into the directory. cd build/ cd Documentation/ touch ../../Documentation/contributor.texi make out=www out-www/contributor-big-page.html replace with contributor.pdf or contributor/index.html as desired. Could you investigate this series of commands and stick them in the CG? > OK.

It just needs to be publicized, and maybe have an extra "helper" target in the docs to automatically take care of the touch, cd, and out-www part. > I've now knocked up a script.
