There is still a vestigial target in the docs Makefile called "allgih",
which was originally there to provide the option of listing all terminal
in the on-line help.  Intentionally or not, this has now become the
default.

I have no objection to restoring the original behavior of "make gih".
On the other hand I see little harm in including all the terminals in the 
on-line help, so long as "set term" provides a correct list of which
terminals are actually available.
