It stands in my way for having a more structured build system.

When in the cyle design-code-build-test; I don't need all those dvi
that document insist on building.  I have configure generate my
Makefiles, but document want to generate its own.

document was a necessary step to get Axiom to the state where it is
now.  But now, it either has to give the way or mutate significantly.
Most of the functionalities offered by document are superceded in my
work. So, unless, it mutates and offers me something I need and I don't
have now, it must be retired.
