bug#16626: 24.3.50; Unable to make bootstrap after building and installi

Subject: bug#16626: 24.3.50; Unable to make bootstrap after building and installing emacs

The issue is this:

Plain `make' does not build the info/ files.
`make install' does.
(Confusingly, so too does `make bootstrap'.)

So when you ran
  make
  sudo make install
You ended up with the info/ files owned by root.

Then the next time you ran `make bootstrap' as a normal user, you lacked
permission to update the info/ files.


So we should change it so that `make' builds the info files.
But not right now.
