trouble building from cvs (fails in /src/doc/design)

[ofaaland@attbi.com]

Hi again, 
 
I figured out that the problem is that I am missing 
'version.texi' from that directory.  The file that 
includes it, gnucash-design.texinfo, states in a 
comment that configure was supposed to create it for 
me.  Is that true? 
 
In the meantime, I created it with 'touch', and let 
things continue.  The resulting .info file seems fine, 
but maybe I'm missing something. 
 
Let me know if there's anything else I should do.  I 
apologize if this was in the list archives or 
documents, somewhere.  Now that I know what was missing 
I'll go back and search again. 
 
thanks, 
Olaf
