No kidding!  Figured it was something simple.  I keep forgetting  
everything I know about Python between buildbot releases.  :-)

I just looked at the Makefile and did "man makeinfo" to find that I  
could just do "makeinfo --html buildbot.texinfo".  It had an error so  
I had to add the "--force" option but otherwise it mostly worked.

buildbot.texinfo:300: @image file `images/overview.jpg' (for HTML)  
not readable: No such file or directory.
makeinfo: Removing output file `/Users/stephen/Development/src/anon/ 
buildbot/docs/buildbot/index.html' due to errors; use --force to  
preserve.
