The "previous" behaviour was to have output documentation in the tarball but not in CVS. "make clean" didn't remove docs, I think, while "make cleanest" did. When I began shipping gpm, years ago, I didn't distribute compiled code. Then a lot of users complained about errors when trying to "make" from source, since they didn't have TeX installed. I think several people is going to hack mice.c, even people with no TeX installed. Actually, several more know C than TeX. On the other hand, who uses CVS is more knowledgeable, on average. My vote is for going the old way, FWIW.
