Yes, a few of the recent additions (like mirrors.xml) broke parts of the build, and it might be better to just fix those broken commits of the past few years rather than starting from scratch.

I'm aware of few others that allow one to build html/postscript/pdf/text versions of the complete doc set as easily as we can. Murray
