Anyone know why the install target in doc/src/Makefile is coded like
this:

install:$(MAKE) all(mv -f *.$(ZIPSUFFIX) ..)

and not the more conventional

install: allmv -f *.$(ZIPSUFFIX) ..

or perhaps safer,

install: allmv -f $(TARGETS) ..

I just typed "make all", waited a good long while, typed "make install",
and was seriously annoyed to watch it "make clean" and start the docs
build *again*.  This behavior is broken IMHO.
