1954	'make docs' target:  Why are these files not installed?	jkeenan	jkeenan	"[Moving discussion of this issue from TT #1922, comment 7]

When you configure with a `--prefix` directory, then build and proceed to install documentation ...
{{{
perl Configure.pl --prefix=/path/to/parrot
make
make install-doc
}}}
... you will get documentation installed under
{{{
/path/to/parrot/share/doc/
}}}
So far so good.

If you then call `make docs`, you generate documentation for about 14 files.  But this documentation is placed under your build directory, not under your install directory:
{{{
./docs/doc-prep
./docs/ops/bit.pod
./docs/ops/cmp.pod
./docs/ops/core.pod
./docs/ops/experimental.pod
./docs/ops/io.pod
./docs/ops/math.pod
./docs/ops/object.pod
./docs/ops/pmc.pod
./docs/ops/set.pod
./docs/ops/string.pod
./docs/ops/sys.pod
./docs/ops/var.pod
./docs/packfile-c.pod
}}}
Is this what we expect?  Is anyone familiar with the history of `make docs` enough to venture an opinion?

Thank you very much.
