Maybe, but i don't consider this an indication. Well-designed manual pages
simply don't need to be built, just installed. So i don't see a problem with
including them in the "install" target - and if afflicted with the autoconf
disease, also in the "all" target; but in most cases, that disease only causes
mild pain and suffering for manual pages, so "man -l foo.man.in" usually works
well enough anyway if you want to read these files without installing them.
Providing extra user-visible targets for every trivial detail runs conter to
the important goal of keeping build systems simple and easy to maintain.
