I don't try to build the docs on that box anyway --- it does have
openjade but such an old version that they don't build.  In practice
building the docs already takes much more modern infrastructure than
compiling the source code; and besides there are many fewer people
who care about doing it.

A more interesting question is whether Marc can install a working
version of dia on whatever he uses to wrap the tarballs.
