One thing that would be great to change for 2.4 is to ship pre-generated documentation in the tarball, and have a --disable-docs configure option to avoid regenerating the docs when installing from the tarball. This is generally accepted best practice, and avoids a lot of fragile build-time dependencies on jade, tex, sgml tools, etc. I am currently having problems building fontconfig in rawhide, because jade has problems on ppc. This should not be necessary at all unless the docs are platform-dependent. Matthias
