[publican-list] should i be able to build the Users Guide standalone?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  while i wait for svn fixes to allow the build to complete, i'd like
to be able to at least peruse the Users Guide.  if i pop into the
Users_Guide directory and check the Makefile, i read:

=====

STANDALONE      ?= 0
PWD             = $(shell pwd)

# STANDALONE is a dirty hack to allow the User_Guide to be built without having publican installed
# Mainly used when packaging or testing process changes before repackaging
ifeq "$(STANDALONE)" "0"
COMMON_CONFIG  = /usr/share/publican
else
COMMON_CONFIG   = $(PWD)/../..
... snip ...
include $(COMMON_CONFIG)/make/Makefile.common

=====

  so i try:

$ STANDALONE=1 make
Makefile:29: /home/rpjday/publican/svn/trunk/publican/Users_Guide/../../make/Makefile.common: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/rpjday/publican/svn/trunk/publican/Users_Guide/../../make/Makefile.common'.  Stop.
$

  not surprising since there is no such file.  and i stuck my head
into bugzilla to find what looks like a related report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533046

but i'm not sure how (or if) that resolves anything.  thoughts?
should i actually be able to build a readable Users Guide without
building and installing everything else first?
