It seems that moving the installation of man pages from
src/GNUmakefile to docs/Makefile did not leave an appropriate target
in the original Makefile to refer to.  That is, docs/Makefile refers
to a nonexistent install-man target in the src/GNUmakefile.  The
following patch adds that needed target.

NOTE: there are still man pages installed by the install target in
src/GNUmakefile.  See the install and doc targets in
interfaces/libpq++/Makefile.  Should this be removed?  Should a
(mostly do nothing) install-man target be added to all the makefiles
so that everything could be traversed from the top as for other
targets?

Cheers,
Brook

Thanks for the patch. I'll apply it as I clean up other loose ends.

Yeah, I noticed that hiding man page source the other day. I'm planning
on converting it to sgml and yanking the nroff version. Should be gone
by release day.

I'll look at the makefiles again and try to get them self-consistant.
