Sorry but I've scrapped all this again. With a little help from the
Automake AT gnu.org mailing list I've implemented a simpler and more
standards-compliant solution. This works as follows:

- the --disable-docs configure switch is back again

- make install installs everything, just as before

- make install-exec installs the library, the headers and the .pc file

- make install-data installs the docs

To give it a whirl, either pull the current cvs revision, or use this
tarball:

http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/downloads/libdbi-0.9.0-pre4.tar.gz

Once again, if you just want to test the installation stuff without
overwriting your current libdbi installation, use something like:

make DESTDIR=$HOME/scrap install-data

BTW the current cvs revision of libdbi-drivers now can be installed in
the same way, which should make life  easier for those package
maintainers who roll separate doc packages.

regards,
Markus
