the attached patch instead adds new (un)?install_shipped_htmldoc
targets which hopefully works that out the right way!
Does it miss something more on HEAD, as i don't think so?

Sorry for not spending a thought on this (and tuning in this issue
earlier, ooops..).  (Maybe because i dislike HTML documentation?
Oh what an insolent ashole am i.. when thinking about it :)?)

Btw., Werner, in my environment AC_CHECK_PROG() checks even if
MAKEINFO= is set to the empty value beforehand!

It is listed under PROCESSEDEXAMPLEFILES which is why i didn't

Of course more *_shipped_* can be added if i would have missed
