Being able to build docs did require some fidgeting with the docbook
packages (on Gentoo). The only trick was working out exactly which
packages I needed to install. Since getting past that, I've not had
any problems building the docs. Although it is pretty slow.
As Merlin and Andrew have noted, being able to build the docs is a
nice-to-have for documentation review, not a genuine requirement. You
*can* review changes to SGML right there in the diff. Especially if
the changes are not extensive and/or don't alter the structure of the
document.
