Hm, maybe the alpha2 tarball had docs in it already?  And they weren't
up to date?  You might be hitting the same thing I've complained of:
since "make distclean" no longer removes built docs, you can find
yourself running an update cycle when you didn't want to.  Peter
rejected my opinion that we should go back to the old behavior of
"make distclean", but I'm still not happy about it.
