Hi Peter,

I also merged this one.

Excerpts from Peter Johnson's message of Sa Feb 13 22:38:30 +0100 2010:

Here's a patch to take advantage of make's dependency checking to avoid
generating i3status.1 every time ``make'' is run. I've also cleaned up the
dependency hierarchy a bit; the new version makes things easier for me to
understand, and I think it will also make future additions simpler. (What are
i3status.xml and i3status.html? Vestiges of old documentation formats?)
No, i3status.xml is the file which is generated by a2x and then converted into
a manpage. i3status.html is simply a variant of the manpage compiled into HTML
(asciidoc has multiple backends). This is useful for putting it online, so
that people can have a quick look ;-).

Best regards,
Michael
