--------------------+------------------------------------
 I just saw a user build Tor from git, and he didn't have asciidoc
 installed, and ./configure gave him
 {{{
       echo "==================================";
       echo;
       echo "You need asciidoc installed to be able to build the manpage.";
       echo "To build without manpages, use the --disable-asciidoc
 argument";
       echo "when calling configure.";
       echo;
       echo "==================================";
       exit 1;
 }}}

 which he interpreted as a successful run. We should make the above message
 more clear that it's a failure case.
