            configure: Do not require xsltproc for installation of man pages

            The release tarballs ship with pre-generated man pages, so we do not
            need xsltproc for a typical end-user build.

            Developers will probably have xsltproc anyway, but if not they will 
now
            encounter a build-time failure instead of an error in configure.
