Argh!  That doesn't work!

But I decided to try a search in the sources to see where gnome-doc-utils 
might be mentioned, and found this line at the top of help/Makefile.am to 
be the only unconditional hit:

include $(top_srcdir)/gnome-doc-utils.make

But that file doesn't appear in $top_srcdir, at least if $top_srcdir 
represents what the name seems to indicate, anyway.

Why not?  Well, it seems to be in the .gitignore, and I know I didn't put 
it there.

Now again, I don't know enough about autotools to know if that automake
 --add-missing --copy should be copying that from the system location, 
and something's out of order there, or whether that file should be 
shipped, but one way or the other, it's not happening.
