-convert doc making script for linux and add debugging output
+I like to build the documentation from scratch when building the
+Debian package; if nothing else this is a good test suite for sketch.
+It also ensures I am really distributing everything in editable form.
+This patch is some changes I made to Doc/make.pl to support this, but
+that I think they might be useful to others as well.
+
+The main change is to provide a new argument "linux" that controls
+what executables are used, and also strips the carriage returns from
+sketch.texi, since makeinfo seems very intolerant of foreign line
+endings.
+
+The patch also replaces several instances of '|| die;' with '|| die
+"$!";' to provide more information when something goes wrong.
