Comment(by nickm):

 Hm. One last issue.  The reason that we didn't do this in the first place
 was that for most users without asciidoc, it's safe not to have asciidoc,
 so long as you have a copy of tor.1.in that's at least as new as
 tor.1.txt.  This change is going to make a bunch of users whose
 compilation previously worked start to fail, and will hit users building
 from tarballs especially hard.

 Can we do anything about that?
