Although this script is not so important in the overall toolset
for the Axiom source distribution (being only a consequence of
the standard implementation of noweb), I think the noweb filter
script itself should be a chunk in the main 'Makefile.pamphlet'
and adequately explained there in the context of the discussion
of literate programming and the choice of noweb. This is where
any maintainer is most likely to look first in the case of a
failure of this kind.
