The html docs are packaged as a tar file inside the main Postgres
tarball. The only thing the Makefile does is "install". Should we put in
an "all" to be consistant with the other makefiles? Perhaps so...

As it always has. The man page installation process tries to make
directories without checking to see if they already exist, so you see
warnings if so. I did update these instructions with a bias toward the
html and postscript docs, I have to admit. But some people will still
want the man pages too so I included that as a separate step.
