RFC: Changing the default docdir

[Nicholas Wourms]

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?

Cheers,
Nicholas
