My script doesn't use the -with-docdir configure option.
The documentation is installed to the same location as before (no problem).

If you remove the configure option, the doc install directory is always
prefix/share/doc/simulavr-.... . I am not sure if this is the standard path on
a SUSE Linux or on Solaris. I have added the configure option to allow the
change of the path for this systems. For me it is no problem to remove the
option.

I have tried a make distcheck and I got the ready for distribution message. But
I got also some errors from configure, because I have no Python installed.
Here are the error messages:

creating regress/Makefile
sed: can't read ../regress/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating regress/regress.py
sed: can't read ../regress/regress.py.in: No such file or directory
creating regress/modules/Makefile
sed: can't read ../regress/modules/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating regress/test_opcodes/Makefile
sed: can't read ../regress/test_opcodes/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating test_c/Makefile

The problem is, that the regres directory is not added to the distribution
package, if no Python is found. I think this shall be changed, so that it is
added, but not built.

I have tried this and I got two rpm files, but the files added to the
share/doc/simulavr-... directory are different than the files that you have
after a make install (ChangeLog, ProjSummary is missing, but TODO is added).

I think it is a good idea to add the spec files!
Maybe there are some Debian users which can provide a Debian package input
file (sorry I have forgotten the name of that file).

After a quick view the pdf output looks pretty well!

Thank you Ted, you have done a really good job!
