Should be “#:select”.

OK to push, modulo the tiny things below:

Thanks for digging into it.  This will be useful for a number of things,
such as building the Git man pages, so perhaps eventually we’ll
factorize that.

Note that ‘with-output-to-file’ returns *unspecified*, so the else arm
of the ‘if’ is never taken.  Also, write “(lambda ()” on the next line.
Lastly, prefer adding a phase before ‘build’ rather than replacing
‘build’ just to call it afterwards.

So, like this:

  (alist-cons-before
   'build 'pre-build
    (lambda ...
      ...
      (with-output-to-file our-catalog
        (lambda ()
          ...))
      #t)
    %standard-phases)

Not sure.  Asciidoc can be used without an XML tool chain, no?

Why Python?  Is it build-time only?

Thanks!
