[issue3397] Mercurial won't fully compile on Cygwin, doc compile crashes

[Marcel Svitalský]

New submission from Marcel Svitalský <marcel.svitalsky at gmail.com>:

Compilation crashes in doc section with:

"""
make -C doc
make[1]: Entering directory „/home/me/inst/hg/doc“
python runrst hgmanpage  --halt warning \
  --strip-elements-with-class htmlonly hgignore.5.txt hgignore.5
python gendoc.py > hg.1.gendoc.txt.tmp
mv hg.1.gendoc.txt.tmp hg.1.gendoc.txt
touch hg.1.txt
python runrst hgmanpage  --halt warning \
  --strip-elements-with-class htmlonly hg.1.txt hg.1
hg.1.gendoc.txt:3336: (ERROR/3) Error in "note" directive:
invalid option block.

.. note::
  Patterns specified in ``.hgignore`` are not rooted. Please see
  :hg:`help hgignore` for details.

Exiting due to level-3 (ERROR) system message.
Makefile:33: recipe for target `hg.1' failed
make[1]: *** [hg.1] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory „/home/me/inst/hg/doc“
Makefile:43: recipe for target `doc' failed
make: *** [doc] Error 2
"""

I tried to correct it only to get some other error two lines farther, and I
don't know troff format well enough to make it right.

Mercurial was downloaded from official repo, changeset e3c7ca15cde2 from
"Mon Apr 23 00:38:22 2012 +0900".

Groff version is GNU groff version 1.21.
