In any case with a quick look at this, it's not straightforward since the
docs need Makeconf to identify where to find the scripts mktexi and mkdoc.
However, Makeconf is removed with a "make dist". What I think would be th=
e
easiest fix is to recreate the variable MKDOC and MKTEXI if they don't
exist, due to the fact that Makeconf doesn't exist..

I'm thinking about it..
