Ah.  This is an intentional change, then.  "make install" now always
doesn't install the docs.  (Its behavior used to vary depending on
whether prebuilt docs were present in the source tree, which was odd.)
There is now a separate top-level target "make install-docs".

You might also consider "make world" followed by "make install-world",
which will build and install core + docs + contrib.
