Something is broken with these documentation installation rules.
If I do:
mkdir build&&cd build&&../configure&&make&&make install INSTALL_ROOT=/tmp/brlinst
in the brltty source directory I do get the following in /tmp/brlinst:

x2:/tmp/brlinst% ls
bin  etc  lib  share  usr
x2:/tmp/brlinst% ls bin
brltty  brltty-config  brltty-install  vstp  xbrlapi
x2:/tmp/brlinst% ls share/man/*
share/man/man1:
brltty.1

share/man/man3:
x2:/tmp/brlinst%

1. Note that vtsp and xbrlapi were installed, but their respective
   manpages were not.
2. The man3 directory is completely empty, why?  Should I have
   run make in the Documents directory manually?  If so, why?  If
   doxygen is available, why not build and install the documentation?
3. Note the "share" toplevel directory, which should have been placed
   under usr/.  This might be something related to the way how I
   use INSTALL_ROOT, but it should still work somehow...
