Um, that might be it.  I did what I usually do:
        make distclean
        cvs update
        configure ...
        make
        make install
but now that you mention it, I might have built the docs in that
tree yesterday, and "make distclean" no longer cleans them out.
[ checks overnight backups ... ] Yup, that's it: html/ and html-stamp
were present in doc/src/sgml/ early this morning.

I could avoid the unwanted build by changing the first step to
"make maintainer-clean", but that's not tremendously satisfactory
either, given how slow it is to regenerate the derived ecpg files.

Is it sensible to split out docs installation to a separate target
"make install-docs"?  Or is there some other solution?

                        regards, tom lane
