Just be careful (if doing that) that dependencies for manuals in
particular directories are always found in those directories or in
doc/include, not in other directories that happen to have files of the
same names. g77.info depends on f/invoke.texi not doc/invoke.texi, while
gcc.info depends on doc/invoke.texi not on f/invoke.texi.
(The property that source files for a manual are only found in that
manual's directory and in doc/include is one also assumed by
update_web_docs to determine the -I flags to pass to makeinfo and
texi2dvi. It should be safe for any system unifying documentation
building rules in the various directories to make that same assumption in
determining the -I flags etc..)
