This patch sucks. Don't commit it.

It does nothing for a documentation writer who wants to make changes,
run PhD and see his changes. configure.php still takes up way too much
time, because we basically load up all of manual.xml and then cut away
the parts we don't want. Instead, we should be loading just that
segment, or it possible for us to pass an XML source file straight to
PhD for rendering.
