OK, problem fixed now.  In the make-break-edit-make cycle, somehow the
DOCSTRINGS for scripts ended up being created empty, so munge-texi was
choking inelegantly on it, and it wasn't clear to me why.

I have a new one though.  I'll bet this is a gcc issue:

/usr/local/gcc/3.0.2/bin/g++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src
-I../libcruft/misc  -I../glob -I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -mieee-with-inexact
-g -O2 -Wall data.cc -o data.o
In file included from defun-int.h:31,
                 from defun.h:30,

But if you remove that part of the command, doesn't that omit all the
M-file doc strings from the manual?
