The tarball should have non-developer makefiles, and 
you do not need to run the autotools yourself.

If you are going to run the autotools yourself, then
it is up to you to know how to proceed.  In this case,
run "aclocal -I config" before "autoconf".

Indeed.  However, I can't reproduce it, and you did not report all
the output, so it is hard to guess what happened.

Please do the following.  Download the tarball, unpack into
a pristine directory.  DO NOT RUN THE AUTOTOOLS.  Just run:

    ./configure --prefix=/tmp/testing
    cd doc
    make 2>&1 | tee make.log
    make install 2>&1 | tee install.log

If you get any errors or warnings in those last two steps,
send me the associated log file.

This isn't the right change.

The right thing to do is install the includes.  

Baptiste: which of the files in include/cppunitui are being used?
They need to be installed.  Why aren't they in the include/cppunit
hierarchy?

Err, how is the above related to documentation?
