 is the applicable set of commands  that should be doing this stuff, and it
 looks like they're simply neglected because the current install make file
 is doing it item by item rather than "for each i in foo ; cp i
 target/directory/", which is done in later stuff in the make file, such as
 {{{
 for i in docs/users_guide/build-html/users_guide; do \
                 cp -Rp $i "/Users/carter/.install-
 ghc/ghc-8.0.0.20160419/share/doc/ghc-8.0.0.20160419/html"; \
         done
