Thanks a lot for working on this, this is a great achievement.
To be fair, the impact on the build process was not really my main
concern. My concern is that Org does not respect the GNU standards.

I'm aware of this possibility, but there are many "if" :)
Also, we can work toward this possibility without using .org for the
Org manual.
What do you think of my proposal to produce an example document,
demonstrating the Org syntax and its possibilities?
It would surely help us test our own code (parser and exporters) and
help others write parsers/exporters (outside of Emacs).
