Building user documentation -- just one glitch.

[Hendrik Boom]

As John Ralls pointed out, the proper way to check out the user 
documentation is 

svn checkout http://code.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash-docs/trunk gnucash-docs

Everything was almost smooth sailing from there.

The first problem was that I didn't have the command xsltproc.
The ./configure suggested that I should have libxslt installed.  I 
already had it installed.  It turned out that xsltproc was not in the 
libxslt package, but in a package of its own, called xsltproc.

Is this a Debian testing peculiarity, or is it likely to be widespread?  
I can propose a patch to  gnucash-docs/README to add xsltproc to the list 
of prerequisites, but I'd first like to know whether this is necessary in 
general, or just a Debian testing peculiarity.

Anyway after that things went smoothly, and I got a lovely set of html 
documentation.

I haven't tried to make epub yet, and it may be a while before I do.  It 
seems to need calibre, and as far as I can tell at the moment, calibre on 
Debian testing is broken.  I boot Debian stable  when I need calibre to 
make epubs for my bookreader.  Looking into this is an entirely different 
project from gnucash, and I can live without epub for the time being.
