That page should probably point out that there are additional
requirements to build the documentation, and link to the relevant
place that describes those.

Searching in the 9.2 docs from the web page doesn't work at all, I'm
not sure why. You can search for "jade" in 9.1, and then once you
find the page there is a cross link to the 9.2 version of it:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/docguide-toolsets.html

I think is probably because you don't have "DocBook DTD" or some of
the other prerequisites listed in the URL I gave above. Or maybe you
just need to re-run "make maintainer-clean" and "./configure" after
installing jade. I've been tripped up by both issues in the past.
