Well, I ran 'make' in the /doc/src/sgml/ directory.  The Makefile has:

        version.sgml: $(top_srcdir)/configure
                { \
                  echo "<!ENTITY version \"$(VERSION)\">"; \
                  echo "<!ENTITY majorversion \"$(MAJORVERSION)\">"; \
                } > $@

and version.sgml has:

        <!ENTITY version "9.6beta2">
        <!ENTITY majorversion "9.6">

That tells me that the Makefile VERSION is already "9.6beta2".  I
checked index.html too:

        $ grep -i beta index.html
        >PostgreSQL 9.6beta2 Documentation</TITLE
        >PostgreSQL 9.6beta2 Documentation</A

and when I run 'make' I see:

        $ make
        { \
          echo "<!ENTITY version \"9.6beta2\">"; \
          echo "<!ENTITY majorversion \"9.6\">"; \
        } > version.sgml

What am I missing?  I don't see a "9.6beta" anywhere.
