Of course. You mean, that you what default behaviour to remain
auto-detection? That is:
--enable-doc: require docbook2man or fail, generate mans
--enable-doc=auto, or not specified (default): check for docbook2man,
generate mans if found, silently ignore if not found (I suppose
diagnostic message is redundant, as information already contains into
./configure --help)
--disable-doc: never check for docbook2man and don't gen mans

Here comes a patch what do this, as far as I see
(I'm sorry for violating post-rules in previous mail, now I'll do all
right, I hope. Should I attach patch anyway, as it might be usefull
for applying?)
