I think that's the ideal solution.

I got the docs build working again on my Fedora machine, but it threw me
back into this loop for several iterations:

        while (htmldocs build fails)
                see which goddam LaTex file is missing now
                dig around to find which Fedora package provides it
                dnf install YA-texlive-package

This is just the kind of thing that I don't want to impose on anybody
wanting to build the docs; if we get back to a place where almost nobody
can do it again, we'll not have improved much.

LaTeX is a necessary evil for PDF output, it seems, but I really think
that, one way or another, we need to be able to build the other formats
without it.

Thanks,

jon
