Looking at my test code, I do
$ make postgres.sgml
make: Nothing to be done for 'postgres.sgml'.
and my shell comment says it is so configure runs and can check that
works first, but it looks like it now does nothing.
I agree the "make --silent check-tabs" doesn't add anything because that
is already part of 'make check'.
I still would like to run checks without building the HTML.
