Hi, I think making the default "docdir" $(datadir)/doc/$(PACKAGE) is a bad idea. The primary reason is that clobbering can occur if the user installs multiple versions of the same package (which isn't unusal in cases where compatibility issues arise between versions). This problem was delt with long ago in the various packaging utilities; they chose to use $(datadir)/doc/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION) instead. Now, pretty much every distribution does it this way. Shouldn't the gnu standards/autoconf/automake reflect the general consensus?
