Just out of curiosity, really?
I mean, I can't see that building a PDF of the documentation really
has much value, and I don't know even what else we can build. Who in
2015 would use a PDF instead of HTML?
(If there is somebody, that is fine. But I am curious who it is and
why, because it seems to me like it would just be a nuisance.)
