doc dirs?

[Rüdiger Kuhlmann]

Hi!

I'd like to re-kindle the discussion about options for where to put a
programs documentation by suggesting the following patch:

2001-06-19 Rüdiger Kuhlmann <address@hidden>

        * acgeneral.m4: (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS) Add switches for install
        dirs of documentation in html, ps, dvi, guide format.
