Just be sure that I understood correctly, the solution for the WML case
is the following:

If wml is not found, the at the end of configure a warning occurs and
make dist will fail with a proper error output.

For the documentation you suggest the following:

Sources configured with --disable-documentation will fail with a proper
error output.

Here from our point of view it is very useful to have the feature of
building tar balls without documentation.

I would propose either throwing an error during make dist (when
configured with disable-documentation) or just ignore
disable-documentation in this case if doxygen and wml are installed.

I know this error and the resolution. Actually before it was used when
doing make dist (and it is even now used, if wml is
installed).  It was not used when doing make, as the long filenames
are better readable for the webpages.

> As I stated before now it is not working without wml right now.

I do not understand. The WML things I changed just use the WML
conditional consequently. What exactly is not working? Maybe we should
adapt the Makefiles to work as suggested above.
