Fair enough; I initially had it in the srcdir, but I encountered
problems then. If I do this:
EXTRA_DIST = manual
DISTCLEANFILES = manual/*
html: manual/index.html
installdirs-local:
$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(docdir)/manual
install-data-local: html installdirs-local
$(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/manual/* $(DESTDIR)$(docdir)/manual
uninstall-local:
rm -rf $(DESTDIR)$(docdir)/manual
manual/index.html: Doxyfile
$(DOXYGEN)
... then I run into problems in "make install":

Again, using dist-hook to copy the files instead of listing "manual" in
EXTRA_DIST circumvents this problem.
