The EXTRA_DIST thing is a hack. Right now, we are not including the  
generated HTML properly, because I haven't figured out the automake  
way to do this correctly.

Specifically, we want to treat the .txt files as source, and  
distribute the generated HTML. The automake documentation is heavily  
biased towards the normal C-to-executable compilation path.

Ideas?

I should also mention that the "Battle for Wesnoth" project does not  
seem to use automake the same way we do, so that won't help us much.  
They use it as a template for Makefile rules, but the targets of the  
rules are not listed explicitly.

Put another way, I don't think you would get a proper tarball if you  
ran 'make dist' in the root.

(They also have rule files for SCons and CMake alongside Makefile.am.)

I also looked at the Git source tree (since they use AsciiDoc as  
well), but they only use plain Makefiles.
