Include the standard user documentation build files

Usage

mate-doc-common

Overview

This script is used by mate-autogen to include the standard user documentation build files in a MATE package.

To automatically include the standard user documentation build files (omf.make and xmldocs.make) in you package, set USE_COMMON_DOC_BUILD=yes in autogen.sh before calling the macros/autogen.sh script.

When porting applications across to use this feature, ensure that all of the references to xmldocs.make are to $(top_srcdir)/xmldocs.make in the appropriate Makefile.am files. Some modules assume that xmldocs.make is in another directory (like docs/ or something).
