Thanks.  So it is the return value. :)

I can't believe in 20+ years of free software work, that I have managed
to largely avoid Perl and awk.

Just to let you all know.  Today I committed the patches to our 
documentation
and make system to use texi2html.  The documentation is published by cron
twice a day and it is online now. The library index is at:

http://rtems.org/onlinedocs/doc-current/share/rtems/html/index.html

Now we need to figure out how to address the need to support texi2any
and texi2html in parallel. When it is available, we would like to use 
texi2any
but it won't be widely available for a while. Old distros won't have it 
unless
the user installs it.

Thank you.
