Hmmm, and like the past, much of the problems I encountered exploded from
one or two original mistakes I made, namely:

- mistakenly checking wigwam-base out from cvs.idealab.com and not
  completely removing it

- initially running autogen.sh on a Redhat box and trusting make clean (and
  make distclean) to clean things up rather than just checking out again.

So, README and INSTALL need .. something.  I'll do it.  And I still have
the problem that make does fail when it reaches docs with:

    raise IOError, "Couldn't resolve pubid [%s]" % id
IOError: Couldn't resolve pubid ["-//SGMLtools//DOCUMENT Docbook Style
Sheet for Lynx Text//EN"]
../misc-scripts/convert-sgml: error converting to text.
*** Error code 1                                                   

While just "cd docs; make wigwam.ps" is unhappy about the no X server thing

So, with luck, that last message I sent will just disappear into oblivion
and I can report only real problems and no one will realize that I am an
idiot.  Although I still consider it a valuable skill that I can emulate "the
stupidest user" so very well.
