OK.

OK, also.

Yes, that a understandable position. I believe that users shouldn't
*have* to build the documentation, but they should *be able* to do that
with they want to. Anyway, distributing the PDF together with the LyX input
is fine.

Now what could be a bug report: the current sources tarball (0.9.1)
comes with all the PDF documents, except for the QuickRef, for which
comes only with the LyX input. Is this intentional?
