+1. I've tried this on a P4 32bit 1.4Ghz, it takes over one hour per
language. I hope for you that the process can be incrementalized,
otherwise you have just killed any update of the documentation.

A bug, anyway: if the process is killed (because it seemed stuck...),
the next time make doc or xmltojar is launched, it fails with an error
like Error 4, variable last_successful_build_date not found (quoting at
heart). The workaround is to launch
-->last_successful_build_date=[]; xmltojar
in the shell.
