Well, there are two separate things here:

* providing a Makefile target to build plain-text output.

* shipping prebuilt plain text docs in standard distributions.

I am for #1, not so much for #2, mainly on the grounds of size.  But
given #1 it would be possible for packagers to make their own choices
about whether to include plain-text docs.
