The table of contents and index needed rework to be valid (X)HTML.
The TOC in particular needed some fairly significant rework - it is
supposed to be an ordered list, after all.

Remove some highly obsolete and, quite frankly, condecending
introductory content. For most users, downloading and especially
compiling is no longer an immediate issue, so move that information to
an appendix.

The way links are done in the NASM documentation it makes more sense
not to underline them. Also inhibit coloring for printing.

Add indented paragraphs, which can be used to continue an item in a
bulleted list.
Produce valid strict XHTML, and include a style sheet with a navbar
and other fancy things.
Remove archaic output formats. Now only text, XHTML, and PDF are
supported.

An uncompressed PDF is about twice as big, but if one is using an
external compression program (e.g. .pdf.xz) it compresses far better.
Use it for the RPM specfile.

Drop nasmdoc.ps(.gz), being redundant and inferior to nasmdoc.pdf.
Tools now generally support xz compression out of the box so use xz
compression for these files.

There is no sane reason to use nasmdoc.ps over nasmdoc.pdf since, oh,
about 20 years. nasmdoc.ps doesn't embed the fonts (and if it did, it
would be very large, whereas nasmdoc.pdf only contains the characters
we explicitly need), and support for PDF is generally much better than
support for PostScript.
It also makes the distribution file smaller to not have two redundant
files.

AFM metrics always have 1000 font units to a scaled PostScript point,
but TTF/OTF doesn't have to. The easiest way (and the one which
best avoids unnecessary rounding) is to store the scale in the
metrics, and change pswidth.ph to return the width in PostScript
points instead of font units.

Add fontconfig as a build requirement. It is technically not
obligatory, but may make the build quite a bit faster.

Use the Adobe Source Sans/Code Pro fonts by default. They are Open
Source fonts by Adobe. However, since these fonts are quite large,
let them be an external dependency and do our best to try to find them
with whatever mechanism is available on the system for finding
standard fonts.
Also have a list of substitution fonts if necessary.

Use /solid compression for smaller size. By default nsis compresses
one file at a time (like .zip default), as opposed to the whole data
block (.tar.gz). The latter gives significantly better compression,
so use it.

If $(X) is not empty, it needs to be added as a suffix, otherwise the

Apparently with newer versions of Windows, a program cannot
be forced-run as administrator without being signed. Instead,
if we aren't administrator, show a message box rather than confusing

AC_ARG_ENABLE() doesn't really work the way you expect: one argument
is called on *any* invocation. Create simple helper wrappers to get
the effect we really want for boolean options.
Define WINELOADER=/dev/null to prevent autoconf from inadvertently
running Wine and think we are not cross-compiling even if we are. It
is at the very best slow and buys us absolutely nothing.
