This is a make target I didn't know about.  I am a release rookie ;)  Next 
time I'll use that.

'make docs' is another make target I didn't know about.  I never even knew 
there was html documentation for lib5250 until Scott told me the other 
day.  When I run make docs it says there is no such target.  'make doc' 
says it is up to date:

james@orion:~/progs/tn5250-0.17.3> make docs
make: *** No rule to make target `docs'.  Stop.
james@orion:~/progs/tn5250-0.17.3> make doc
make: Nothing to be done for `doc'.

But I can't find any generated documentation anywhere.  The docs directory 
doesn't have anything in it that wasn't already there.  I don't have 
robodoc on my system - shouldn't make tell me that?

btw - could the website be changed to show the cvs commands for getting 
current cvs instead of the 16 branch?
