It's not actually a full copy (Makefile.all only has CORETERM, not 
COREOBJS).  And there might be a chicken-and-egg problem, what with 
docs/Makefile.am being a primary, non-generated file, and 
src/makefile.all a generated one.

Nor would that "include" command necessarily do what you expect, either, 
since it'd be processed by automake rather than make.

The typical gnuplot way would be to generate docs/Makefile.am at 
./prepare time, too, just like the instances of CORETERM in 
term/Makefile.am and src/makefile.all
