Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:5 jryans]:
 > It appears that `a2x` calls `xsltproc` even for manpages.
 The [http://asciidoc.org/a2x.1.html#X1 a2x manual] backs your claim by
 listing `xsltproc` as one of its requisites.
 > The separate configure flags could still be added, but it seems like
 you'd still need the same libs to create the manpage (if I am following
 correctly).
 FWIW AsciiDoc generates the html documentation and a2x generates the
 manpages. a2x depends on AsciiDoc (see the manual link above) and is part
 of the AsciiDoc package. I don't see how the dependencies are decreased by
 introducing the proposed configure options.
