Ok, looking at these in more detail - there is no way you could have tested these... doc/ isn't even being built yet.  So, while I am ok with pregenerating the manpages *as long as they can be verified to work on all the platforms we support*, there is no way I am going to apply patches of this ma

Ah, and one more thing - WRT the autotools branch, I'd prefer: 1. Do not remove any of the imake stuff.  I will do all of that myself when that branch is ready for merging into master.  It is handy having around while the conversion is still in progress. 2. I would prefer to concentrate on gettin
