Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Misc updates in Makefile and FAQ-BUILD.txt

Hi Paul,

This patch set is the result of trying Ubuntu Bionic to build
perfbook.

One major issue is the incompatibility of a2ping 2.77p and
Ghostscript 9.22. You need a2ping 2.83p which is upstream at
https://www.ctan.org/pkg/a2ping.

a2ping is basically a perl script, so you can easily use the latest
one by putting it in your local bin directory.

Other changes in this set are fixes and modifications I made while
testing on Ubuntu Bionic. The updated Makefile is tested on
Ubuntu Trusty, Ubuntu Xenial, Ubuntu Bionic, Fedora 26, and Fedora 27.

Patch #1 updates message of "make help".
Patch #2 adds entry on a2ping compatibility issue in FAQ-BUILD.txt.
Patch #3 adds note on Ubuntu Bionic.
Patch #4 employs "latexpand" of TeX Live instead of "texexpand".
This frees us from dependency on latex2html package.

Patch #5 updates FAQ-BUILD.txt accordingly.

        Thanks, Akira
