+ I hadn't even seen that change go in. The last upstream change in the

+
+ Maybe for others. Our packages just don't have the manpage as it is only
+the "be help" text reformatted, the easy option is sometimes the right
+one :) Also, I've just noticed that it has even less documentation in
+the bzr tree[1] making its installation much less compelling unless your
+packaging rules require a man page like Debians.
+
+ Out of curiosity why is the Makefile being used for this stuff anyway?
+It is going to make it difficult to build locally when we finally get
+around to merging. Examples: If distutils was being used exclusively it
+would fix the #! lines in xml/*. We'd be able to point Python
+$version_of_the_day at setup.py instead of having to sed the Makefile or
+run setup and manually install other files.
+
+Thanks,
