I noticed that it didn't install the docs. I almost said something
but I realized as well that I can just as easily package up the docs
on my own. That and I didn't know what the standard operating
procedure (SOP) is on Unix with these kinds of docs.

I think it would be *nice* to have the docs installed as well. I
certainly don't need to have anything like that anytime soon. I agree
with Jörg and have it as a low priority. I'll put it on the TODO
unless someone objects.

If you want to have it installed with an enabled switch that's fine
too. My desired directory to put it in would be:
${PREFIX}/doc/${PACKAGENAME}
which is different from what Jörg specified. Perhaps this would be
specified with a switch as well? I'll leave it to the implementor.
