It should be documented only for using tarballs - not for working from
CVS.

The inappropriate use of tar here is also a factor in PR 8121 (wrong 
ownership on installed header files).  (Though the use of -p may need to 
be removed in install-headers-cp to avoid the same problem there.)  We 
don't need multiple methods of installing headers, just install-headers-cp 
will suffice.
