For some reason doc/Makefile.in has lost all dependencies

I noted that in the original proposal: one of the things you got from doctool is automatic dependency generation. I'd put an item on the Wishlist to this effect, saying I needed to replace it.

At your prompting, I now have. There is a new script called xidepend which generates Makefile.dep, which is included (and cleaned, if asked) by Makefile.in.

It's not perfect. Because of the time it takes to run the dependency chaser, I've elected to make it dependent on only changes to the top-level XML files. This means that if you add an XInclude to one of the leaf files, the referenced file won't get added to the dependency list for the top-level file that indirectly depends on it until you remove Makefile.dep, forcing its re-generation.

Never mind cygwin-api.  This seems to work fine.

Yes, because it's still using doctool.
