Another thing, this seems to fail to build without asciidoc:

------------ snip ------------
checking for src/pixz.1... no
checking for a2x... no
configure: error: AsciiDoc not found, not able to generate the man page.
------------ snip ------------

This is also related to not supporting B != S, since src/pixz.1 does exist, 
just in S and not B. If you inherit autotools-brokensep instead of autotools 
it works.

Cheers,
Paul
