I just tried compiling fontconfig from CVS on a very bare-bones
system and ran into a few build problems. The attached patch fixes a
couple of the problems I hit:

	* If some part of autogen.sh fails it still prints "Now type
          'make'". Fixed by adding "set -e".

	* Some Makefiles want to build man files but don't know how if
          docbook is not available. Fixed by moving man_MANS targets
          inside the "if USEDOCBOOK" test.

Then there was one problem I hit that I never figured out how to
fix. I installed expat with prefix=/some/dir and tried to configure
fontconfig --with-expat, but it didn't work:

	$ ./configure --with-expat=/some/dir
	...
	checking expat.h usability... no
	checking expat.h presence... no
	checking for expat.h... no
	checking xmlparse.h usability... no
	checking xmlparse.h presence... no
	checking for xmlparse.h... no
	configure: error: Cannot find usable expat library. This could mean that your version is too old.

I got tripped up here for quite some time since the last error message
was concerning xmlparse.h which I couldn't find in any recent version
of expat. When I finally realized I didn't need xmlparse.h, I got
things working by using:

	./configure --with-expat-includes=/some/dir/include --with-expat-lib=/some/dir/lib

So, is --with-expat broken or am I just using it wrong?

PS. One last rant, (a bug in autofoo itself).

<rant>

I had tremendous pain trying the following command:

	./configure --with-expat-includes=/some/dir/include --with-expat-libs=/some/dir/lib

which found expat.h, but couldn't find the XML_SetDoctypeDeclHandler
function.

Can you spot the bug in this command? Can you keep track of such
inconsistent use of the letter 's'?

It would be *really* nice if we could get ./configure to abort on
unknown command-line options. Anyone know how to do that?

</rant>

Now that I've written that and have it archived, I'll go track down a
more constructive place to report the problem.
