(Thanks Jay Soffian for the environment variables)
The commands ...
  $ export ASCIIDOC8=YesPlease
  $ export DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease
  $ make prefix=/usr/local all doc info
... terminate with these errors:
  /bin/sh: docbook2x-texi: command not found [ x 147 ]
... this warning:
  gitman.texi:4: warning: unrecognized encoding name `UTF-8'.
and a zero-length user-manual.texi in Documentation.
Upon investigation, I determined that ...
  $ which docbook2x-texi
... reports empty, but ...
  $ which docbook2texi
... reports /opt/local/bin/docbook2texi.
  $ docbook2texi --version
  /opt/local/bin/docbook2texi (part of docbook2X 0.8.8)
  $Revision: 1.12 $ $Date: 2006/04/14 17:29:04 $

Is docbook2texi vs docbook2x-texi a mere dialect difference that can be completely rectified with a symbolic link, or an indication that my docbook2X is misbuilt?
