 Build instructions:                       
 
+See the file README.pct for more details of the 
+build system.  Note, all the previous xxx.in files have
+been removed except for one:
+
+  manuals/version.tex.in
+
+You normally should not edit that file, rather edit
+version.tex, see the end of this file for more on
+versions.

 You must have at least the following packages loaded:
 latex2html
 te_latex
 tetex
 
-First, you must do:
-
-  cd <docs>
-  ./configure --with-bacula=<path-to-bacula-source>
-
-  This will find the current Bacula version, and create
-  all the Makefiles from Makefile.in  
-
-  Do not edit the Makefiles or your changes will be lost. Always
-  edit Makefile.in
-
 Web site:  nothing to build, simply copy the files to the
            Web site, then load the documents in the appropriate
            places.

 A distribution is made by exporting the SVN then building everything
 and finally tarring it up.

+Note: normally this directory is distributed with the correct 
+version and date.  If you want to change it, simply manually
+edit <docs>/manuals/version.tex.

+If you want to update the version "automatically" or synchronize
