They are probably only in EXTRA_DIST. I'll check the Makefile.am to make
sure they get  installed.

I planned to remove the roadmap from doc/ and put the new 2.0 roadmap
in a visible items on our web site. I'm sure it will get more attention
there than in the doc/ subdirectory.

The 'Use unitialized'...  message isn't an error message but a 'debug'
message. No users will see it unless they turn on lr_debug.

Also, this message isn't related to the pdfxmltex_path variable but to
the fact that the variable 'lr_service' isn't set. I've fixed the
function is_valid in Lire::Config::Spec::Service so that the undefined
value message doesn't happen.
