FTBFS while installing docs

[Al Stone]

In some build environments (in my case, Fedora 19 x86_64), grub will fail to complete the make install step with the following error messages. NB: this does not happen with the latest upstream source so it may just be a matter of merging in the new grub-dev.texi file.

A short term workaround is to remove "docs" from the SUBDIRS variable in Makefile.am and rerun autogen.sh.

Partial build log:
