[As the noweb package was orphaned in Debian, I'm taking over its maintenance.]

The problem with this bug is that notangle gets called before it is installed, so of course the shell can't find it. Bruce's patch works for now, but it does run into the problem that if notangle changes at some point in the future, then you may need to change all of the rules for the manpages.

IMHO, a better solution would be to build bootstrap versions of the scripts (or just notangle), and call the bootstrap version when building the manpage.

Attached is a patch that does this by installing a copy of notangle into src/bootstrap, and then adding src/bootstrap to the path in src/xdoc/Makefile. I've tested the patch, and it seems to work fine.

Norman, let me know what you think of this patch, or if you prefer Bruce's patch, and I'll upload a new package with the appropriate fix.
