Details:

Trying to build all the doc/* files from the top-level makefile, using rules
like

doc/filename: doc/source
    cd doc ; { do something }

is quite completely incompatible with out-of-tree builds.  None of the
dependencies will be found, nor will the commands themselves actually find
their inputs.  And because of the 'cd', autoconf's $(srcdir) or $(top_srcdir)
wouldn't help, either, even if they were applied.

There really should be a separate doc/Makefile.in, I think.
