Anyone know why the install target in doc/src/Makefile is coded like
this:

install:
$(MAKE) all
(mv -f *.$(ZIPSUFFIX) ..)

and not the more conventional

install: all
mv -f *.$(ZIPSUFFIX) ..

or perhaps safer,

install: all
mv -f $(TARGETS) ..

I just typed "make all", waited a good long while, typed "make install",
and was seriously annoyed to watch it "make clean" and start the docs
build *again*. This behavior is broken IMHO.

regards, tom lane
