Building Less?

Okay, here is the diff for the changes above. I didn't re-build as Mr.
Gurney said he would validate and commit . Can I suggest/submit some other
changes to the build (7) page (that I will test myself)? Also the
fdp-primer says in chapter 3.1 that the doc project owns man pages and then
I couldn't find another single reference to them again.
Much thanks!
Russ
