"make install" does not build any documentation at all, so that should be no source of pain. The user decides which we to go: install-man or quick-install-man. Having the defaults set up so that recent "mainstream" versions of the tool chain work without extra options may sound like a good idea - but that would mean changing options again and again. I think we should do this for major milestones (say git 1.7).
