Dumb question but I got bit by it before.  Is there a makefile.custom
nearby?  When I was cleaning up the docbook tags I put one in and it
had a couple of directories that didn't exist on my machine.  They 
probably existed on Tom Lockhart's machine, tho.  :)   I never noticed
it till the next time I built PostgreSQL.
