This was mentioned before, and I haven't thought of a good solution yet. I think the tags file should be included, so that the help works without installing Vim. This is for systems that don't actually install. I think the main problem is that "make install" overwrites the distributed tags file. We could make it generate the tags file elsewhere, so that the original remains unchanged.
