Subject: Unexpanded variable in Makefile

I'm not much of a software builder, so please excuse any mistaken concepts or 
misuse and abuse of terminology here...

It would appear that a variable does not get expanded/replaced as it should.  
@docdir@ remains in the generated Makefile after running configure.  Installing 
then installs the documentation into a strange, new location.

$ grep '@docdir@' *
Makefile:docdir = @docdir@
Makefile.am:docdir = @docdir@
Makefile.in:docdir = @docdir@

I'm not really sure how I would set a value for @docdir@.  I didn't see an 
option to specify --docdir for configure and when I tried it error'd.  Am I 
doing something wrong or is this a minor build bug?  Looks like @docdir@ has 
existed in Makefile.am for a long time, but I've had no issues with this 
building past releases.

Trying to build from SVN r2516
