"make install" in doc/

[Alvaro Herrera-7]

Hi,

I just noticed that "make install" inside the doc/ directory looks for
man.tar.gz in $(srcdir), which is obviously not going be found because
it's put in the builddir.

Am I missing something here, or is it simply that nobody tries this
stuff in VPATH builds?

These operations are usually only done when the release tarball is produced,
so all these details have not been refined.

Just forget about it.  I'll get rid of the tarballs within the next week.
