Hei hei,
while searching how to build the new documentation (btw: I could not
find out) I stumbled over the broken help. Results from different
ptxdist versions:

The file ptxdist.1.gz is only available in the folders of 2016.08.0 and
2016.09.0 and missing in all the others. I usually install like this:
* go to ptxdist src folder (git clone)
* git co ptxdist-201?-??-?
* git clean -dxf
* ./autogen.sh
* ./configure
* make
* sudo make install
In the current master no man page is created with a simple `make`, I
would have to call `make man`, not sure if it gets installed, though,
didn't test it.

This was a deliberate change and I'm not quite sure how to improve the
situation.
I did not want to make rst2man a hard requirement for ptxdist. So all
tarball releases contain the man-page.
I suppose we could create the man page under certain circumstances during
'make'. What should the condition be? If rst2man is found? When working
with a ptxdist git checkout?
Regards,
Michael

Isn't this what --enable-maintainer-mode is supposed to do? I.e. in
maintainer-mode regerate everything, and otherwise use shipped files.
