[tlbuild] asy 2.10 prebuilt pdf doc missing

Hi John,

I didn't have any "real" problems building asy 2.10 on i386-linux, but I
did have issues with "make install-prebuilt", because not everything was
prebuilt.  In particular, it wanted to remake
  asy-latex.pdf
  TeXShopAndAsymptote.pdf
neither of which went well.

Can you just distribute those PDF's?

Also, it tried to run convert with an option my version doesn't have:
  convert -alpha Off -density 144x144 +antialias -geometry 50%x \
          ../latexusage.eps latexusage.png
  convert: unrecognized option `-alpha'.

This seemed to be in making the .info's, which shouldn't have been
happening at all since they are in the dist, as we painfully arranged
for last year.  Too-eager dependencies or something?

For reproductive purposes, I'm doing the build like this:
  ./configure \
    --with-latex=/tmp/ainst/latex \
    --with-context=/tmp/ainst/context \
    --enable-texlive-build \
    --prefix=/tmp/ainst
  make
  make install-prebuilt

Anyway, nothing was a stopper and I committed the new version to the TL
repo.  Other builds are coming along.  You'll be hearing about any
future problems, too :).

Thanks,
Karl
