Details:

A few days ago Richard called looking at the documentation a "radical
concept". Joking, of course.

Let's see on how to install it:

  $ ./configure --prefix=/home/mah/gnustep/docinstallation
--with-layout=fhs-system
  $ cd Documentation/
  $ make
  $ make install
  [... lots of stuff snipped ...]
  Making install for doc gnustep-howto...
   Creating /usr/share/GNUstep/Documentation/User/GNUstep...
  mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/share/GNUstep/Documentation’:
Permission denied

OUCH! --prefix totally ignored.

Let's try again (after removing a lot of stuff not cleaned by "make distclean"
manually, see also bug #41026):

  $ sudo apt-get purge gnustep*
  (open a new shell for a clean environment)
  $ ./configure --prefix=/home/mah/gnustep/docinstallation
  $ cd Documentation/
  $ make
  $ make install
  $ ls /home/mah/gnustep/docinstallation
  ls: cannot access /home/mah/gnustep/docinstallation: No such file or
directory

Third try:
  $ ./configure --prefix=/home/mah/gnustep/docinstallation
--with-layout=fhs-system
  $ cd Documentation/
  $ make
  $ make install DESTDIR=/home/mah/gnustep/docinst
  $ find /home/mah/gnustep/docinst
  /home/mah/gnustep/docinst
  [ ^^ It exists! ^^ ]
  /home/mah/gnustep/docinst/home
  /home/mah/gnustep/docinst/home/mah
  [...]
 
/home/mah/gnustep/docinst/home/mah/gnustep/make/Documentation/tmp-installation/System/Library/Documentation
 
/home/mah/gnustep/docinst/home/mah/gnustep/make/Documentation/tmp-installation/System/Library/Documentation/info
  [ ^^ BOOO ^^ ]
 
/home/mah/gnustep/docinst/home/mah/gnustep/make/Documentation/tmp-installation/System/Library/Documentation/Developer/Make/ReleaseNotes
  [...]

Totally in the wrong place and ignoring filesystem layout.
