I think the argument for having a quick docs build service is not about
the time needed, but the need to have all the appropriate tools
installed. While I can understand that argument for J Random Hacker,
I'm mystified why Bruce doesn't seem to have bothered to get a working
SGML toolset installed. It's not like editing the docs is a one-shot
task for him.
