Are you saying that on your machine, if you type "make" in the > top-level directory, it doesn't recurse into the `man' subdirectory > automatically? Yes, I think thats right. I believe this was deliberate. I think the reason was that we don't want `make' to recurse into `man' and generate a DVI file, and we normally distribute Emacs with the Info files already updated, so there is no need for it to update them. However, I guess it would be harmless now to change it so that top-level `make all' updates the Info files but does not generate the DVI files.
