I do worry that this all looks a little complex and fragile. I wonder if there's a way that we could set up some sort of dependency chain that would just tell make not to run the docs builds in parallel with anything else? That is more-or-less the effect of what we're doing anyway. Meanwhile, though, this seems to work, so let's go with it :) Thanks, jon
