Well it somehow made it into cvsnt-2.5.03.2214.tar.gz

That's why its normally a Very Good Idea to run files through xmllint when
you're editing them by hand insetad of in a warm-and-cosy validating
editor :-)

Its build from the shipped source tarball, and the version number in the
files is tweaked.

Randomize the filenames? Never seen that.

Normally I would use your build file in docs, but it has some hardcoded
paths to some files which don't tally with the distro that I use (gentoo).
xmlto seems to do things ok for the html files, and that's all I'm
generating in the cvsnt ebuild for gentoo.
