Just to build the documentation as HTML, PDF and PS?  I seriously doubt 
that anyone wants to install this big thing to his device but you're 
probably right, one never knows.

Thank you for your hint.  I have now found 
EXTRA_AUTORECONF += "--exclude=autoheader"

to disable autoheader.  The ugly patch is gone.

And the documentation in HTML, PS and PDF would go to a -doc.ipk by means 
of some FILES_xxx variable?

I will do this for 1.9.x-r1571.

BTW: htmldoc.org uses a mirror select mechanismen for downloads (http://
www.htmldoc.org/software.php?VERSION=1.9.x-r1586&FILE=htmldoc/snapshots/
htmldoc-1.9.x-r1586.tar.bz2), I have hardcoded one mirror in my receipt.  
Is there a better way?
