Yes, I agree, it's messy.

I considered changing the spec file to somehow ignore those files, but 
then I decided that I liked your doc directory organization better 
anyway.  I've changed the doc build process to produce it directly.

Please check this version out and try it.  There are still quite a few 
differences between our spec files, but I'm hoping that they're mostly 
the sort that you can adopt, at least after 2.2.2 comes out.  There are 
a few areas, like the --enable-thread-check configure flag, which will 
remain different.
