Oh, I see the problem. In doc/Makefile, recent versions pass the "make
distclean" operation down to doc/src, but 7.2's doesn't.
It might be safe to alter the Makefile, but I think I'd just vote for
changing your build script instead, seeing that this is probably the
last packaging of 7.2.
Peter, any idea why it was like that back then?
