Ah, my archive search skills are apparently lacking, thus the duplicate.

Looking at little more at this, the docs mention builddoc.bat which was
replaced in 2011 in favor of builddoc.pl. This program in turn is using
openjade and is thus, I assume, not working anymore.

Unless someone steps up before 11 is rolled, maybe builddoc.pl should be made
into a exit immediately no-op since "nothing" is better than “broken”?
