I built epoch-3.2 and applied the necessary patches, and everything
built fine and wonderful without any problems; well, almost.  There is a
problem with the documentation strings of functions that get their
documentation from the DOC file.  The format of the DOC file seems fine,
but the indices at which functions seem to believe their documentation
lies are off.  For example, if I do C-h f epoch::font, I get:

   epoch::font
   ng a font to load. If SCREEN is nil, the current screen is used, otherwise the screen specified is used.

or C-h f car:

   car
   s not void.

Not all of them are messed up.  The first few functions in the DOC file
are fine; it is only after the doc for `epoch::icon-name' that things
start getting weird.  The first function listed after that is
`epoch::screen-information', and for that I get:

   epoch::screen-information
   ch::font
   Takes optional arguments of FONT-NAME and SCREEN. If FONT-NAME is nil, returns current font information. If not nil, it should be string naming a font to load. If SCREEN is nil, the current screen is used, otherwise the screen specified is used.

(Note also the missing newlines ...)

Anyone else have this problem, and/or a fix?
