Which of the options does SgmlTools-lite reject?  What must you substitute
for them?

Look at the headers of the HTML files in Uz's cc65 documentation.  The
GENERATOR is listed as "LinuxDoc-Tools 0.9.20".  It was derived from
version 1 of SgmlTools.  The master copy of LinuxDoc Tools is maintained by
the Debian Linux Project.  You can find it at
http://packages.debian.org/stable/source/linuxdoc-tools
But, it's stored as a ".tar.gz" archive; the Fedora Linux Project has it in
RPM format.

I've done most of that, but haven't sent it to Uz, yet.  The new makefile
has an "uninstall" rule, too.  But, I hadn't thought of adding the
"samples" rule -- thanks for reminding me.

We have a problem with that makefile:
Some people don't have the source-tree on their systems.  But, other people
have _only_ the source-tree -- they don't install the generated files.  So,
the makefile doesn't have a guarantee about where to look for the files
that it needs.  But, that "prefix-method" could make it easier to adapt the
makefile.
