combing through various FIXMEs in the meson patch I started to look into docs
again. A few questions / noteworthy points:

- I still haven't gotten dbtoepub to work in vpath style builds (epub
  generation is instead using pandoc). Could somebody using these comment on
  the quality difference?

  We don't seem to offer these for download anywhere...

  Worth noting that dbtoepub takes approximately forever (>25min). Not that
  pandoc is fast, but ...

  Unfortunately pandoc doesn't understand <part> level stuff. That'd probably
  easy enough to tweak, but ...

- We have logic to change the man section (grep for sqlmansect) for some
  platforms. The only remaining platform is solaris. I'm inclined to not
  implement that.

- I've not implemented the texinfo targets - don't think they're really used?

Greetings,

Andres Freund
