[PATCH] add-build.patch
Add build targets to all makefiles. Debian does builds as non-root, so
it's better to do as much as possible before requiring root privs.

No longer require latex2html (bizarrely considered 'non-free' by Debian
maintainers) to build docs. Instead we still build PS/PDF docs, but skip
HTML docs.

Description: use DESTDIR correctly
Standard makefiles always attempt to install to the root(/). Setting
DESTDIR is the normal way to install to an alternative location.
Setting prefix has the possibility of breaking programs, as the prefix
may have been embedded inside a compiled binary.

Description: Use vars for complex programs
It's generally standard to call complex programs indirectly thru make
variables. This allows them to be replaced easily with alternative
versions, without editting each makefile.
Additionally, this patch makes use of $(pkgdocdir) in docs/Makefile.

Fix parallel make problems (some rules had multiple dependencies which
themselves were inter-dependent).
Fix netbsd build when 'uname -i' is unavailable -- default to i386.
A new install script to install from the intermediate 'install' subdir.
Also now a bit more careful in use of 'cp -a'. When installing to
system-wide directories we probably do not want to preserve ownership
of the random unprivileged user that originally built the binaries.
The user who does the install (probably root) is the correct person
to own the target files.
