Correct me if I am wrong, but don't most packages that require "compiling" documents provide a make option that only compiles the docs?
For those that don't require compilation, no make would be necessary, just use 'cp -r' to copy document subdirectories to the correct directories under pkg. Besides, I would suspect that those people who do make AUR packages have enough knowledge about the make system to accomplish these tasks. On 11/17/05, A. S.
