   Noted for future reference.

   That's fair.

   For historical context, note that I added the dia-support to get away
from generating png's and eps's during the build stage for the
documentation; it was causing some annoyances (inconsistently updated
platform-specific scripts, where to put generated files on various
platforms/systems, and such). As you imply; the diafile support is not a
"missing feature" as much as it's scratching an annoying itch.
