Indeed. Having it build during the install involves to pieces
that are not in the tree:

  1) Sgmls and sgmlsasp: an sgml parser.  This is an easy
     out-of-the-box compile.

  2) The linuxdoc DTD, asp replacemet files and the sgmlformat
     perl script.  There is a fair amount of cruft to be removed
     from this before anybody would let it near.  One binary 
     is involved but I plan to absorb its functionality in 
     the perl script.
