 Following the changes to the build system that got merged in earlier this
 year, it's no longer obvious (or documented, as far as I can tell) how to
 either build or install documentation.

 The procedure that used to work for 6.10 was {{{make install-docs}}}, but
 the {{{Makefile}}}s in the {{{docs}}} and {{{docs/man}}} directories have
 bit-rotted, and the {{{install-docs}}} target has vanished from the top-
 level {{{Makefile}}} too.

 If I knew how to build the documentation, I'd send in a patch, as I think
 it's important that this be fixed before 6.12.1 goes final, so that
 platform packagers like myself can figure out how to easily build and
 install the documentation. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure what needs
 fixing in the new build world.
