Installing texlive-scheme-full -- which in turn installed 3,153 (!)
packages -- still didn't get make pdfdocs working on my Fedora 25
desktop... same failure with user.pdf that I posted about previously.
No joy with make psdocs either, but it's a PDF world now (and there's
always pdf2ps) so perhaps that target should disappear.
