Thanks for pointing this out. The --disable-manual was indeed slightly flawed
as it expected the hugehelp.c file to get cleaned by there was no good
dependency for this in the makefile.

I've now modified the generated hugehelp.c to recognize the USE_MANUAL define.

I don't think that's a great idea. It would only require everyone to have perl
and gzip installed. We can avoid that requirement by prodiving a pregenerated
version of this file.
