I think I have it working pretty smoothly in the asciidoc branch in
either my or Andrew's repo. Test it out and break it if you can. If
you actually want to generate the docs, you have to explicitly give
the --enable-asciidoc flag to configure, otherwise you will just end
up with the manpages from the tarball. Of course, as a developer, you
need to use --enable-asciidoc to get those in the tarball in the first
place.

I just did a little check for my own sanity, and 'make dist' does
include them in the tarball, which is good to see.
