Remove needless autogen.sh references/invocations

Since the files autogen.sh creates are now controlled, you only have
to run autogen.sh when you modify the source files, not when you
build from a clean checkout.

 # Building from a pristine checkout
 
-When building qpdf from a pristine checkout from version control, documentation and automatically generated files are not present. You may either generate them or obtain them from a released source package, which includes them automatically generated files. If you want to grab just the automatic files, extract a source distribution in a temporary directory, and run `make CLEAN=1 autofiles.zip`. This will create a file called `autofiles.zip`, which can you can extract in a checkout of the source repository. This will enable you to run `./configure` and build normally. This approach is almost certainly required on Windows because of issues running autoconf. This workaround is also described in [README-windows.md](README-windows.md).
-
-For UNIX and UNIX-like systems, you can build the automatically generated files yourself, but you must have some additional tools installed to build from the source repository.  To do this, you should have `autoconf` installed (`automake` is not required). Then run
-
-```
-./autogen.sh
-./configure --enable-doc-maintenance
-make
-make install
-```
-
-If you don't have Apache fop and the docbook stylesheets installed, you won't be able to build documentation.  You can omit `--enable-doc-maintenance` and produce working qpdf software that passes its test suite, but `make install` will not install documentation files.  Depending on your purposes, this may be fine, or you can grab the docs from a source distribution.
+When building qpdf from a pristine checkout from version control, generated documentation files are not present. You may either generate them (by passing `--enable-doc-maintenance` to `./configure` and satisfying the extra build-time dependencies) or obtain them from a released source package, which includes them. If you want to grab just the files that are in the source distribution but not in the repository, extract a source distribution in a temporary directory, and run `make CLEAN=1 distfiles.zip`. This will create a file called `distfiles.zip`, which can you can extract in a checkout of the source repository. This step is optional unless you are running make install and want the html and PDF versions of the documentation to be installed.
