I'm following instructions at:

http://web.uvic.ca/~gperciva/advanced-tech.txt

I'm trying to build to see the relationship between the source (.itely)
and the actual doc.  I'm very visual.  I don't necessarily need WYSIWYG
but I like seeing the output at some point.  I haven't made any changes
for the above reason.  Is a commit necessary to be able to build?

a config.make in the top directory.

Yes.

I may be able to track this down but there's probably someone who
recognizes the problem.
