      documentation, and therefore require texinfo.  You can pass
      '--disable-documentation' to the configure script to change this.
 
+[*2] If you still prefer to have documentation, you can pass
+     '--with-section7' to build mdoc documentation (experimental
+     stages in gnunet). If this proves to be reliable, we will
+     include the mdoc output in the release tarballs.
