I didn't load the doc distribution so the directories weren't created,
despite countless make worlds, running make install on /usr/doc gave
install fits, as those directories weren't there.  To add insult to this,
install gave a rather ambiguious syntax error.

P.S.  chap/pap on ppp still gives me fits. ;-)
