That misses the problem, which is that asciidoc is not required if man pages are already built (in released tarballs as opposed to git sources).
Can we use "make -q" in the doc directory to test if any doc building is needed? The main issue with that approach is that the makefile is generated by the configure... So that would need to be run after the makefile is created which might be weird.
I don't know how to handle that. But there is still the proposal in my first answer : Maybe a solution would be to have a strict asciidoc checking by default, and add a configure option to skip that check (and maybe building of docs but not install). Then we could also keep docs enabled by default.
