 in order to stay on top of things, i thought i'd "svn co" the
development stream of the PHP manual, but it seems that doing that
could be more clearly explained.

 starting here:

 http://www.php.net/download-docs.php

there is no mention whatsoever about doing an svn checkout of the
manual -- how to do that is buried partway down in the page here:

 http://php.net/svn.php

it really should be mentioned on that first page, no?  also, once i do
the checkout:

 $ svn checkout http://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc/en/trunk ./phpdoc-en

there's nothing in that checkout that tells me how to configure and
build the manual.  i look in vain for a README or Makefile or
"configure" script.  a little searching and i eventually end up here:

 http://doc.php.net/php

where, curiously, the "PHP section" link at the bottom refers back to
itself.  how odd.  eventually, i follow the link labelled
"Documentation Howto" over there on the right, looking for build
instructions, but i still don't see them.  i see directions for how to
edit and validate XML files, but is there a single page with
instructions for how to simply generate the manual HTML?
