No, because of the recipe-specific sysroot it can't see my system version
of xmlto.

I have xmlto installed, yet log.do_configure contains:

checking for xmlto... no
configure: WARNING: xmlto not found, manpages will not be rebuilt.

I couldn't find a --disable-doc/--without-xmlto knob otherwise I would have
done. :(

Or did you mean that I should explicitly set ac_cv_prog_XMLTO with
something like:

 PACKAGECONFIG[docs] = ",ac_cv_prog_XMLTO='',xmlto-native,"

?

Thanks.

Mike.
