>Description:

	The misc/siag package installs its documentation into
	${PREFIX}/doc then a post-install target in the package
	Makefile moves this to ${PREFIX}/share/doc and then does
	an "${RMDIR} ${PREFIX}/doc".  This causes a "make install"
	to fail if anything else was in the ${PREFIX}/doc directory.

	Note that nothing else should use ${PREFIX}/doc, but there
	are older packages that do not adhere to this and it's
	unreasonable to upgrade existing working packages because
	of this.

>How-To-Repeat:

	mkdir /usr/pkg/doc
	too /usr/pkg/doc/foo
	cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/siag
	make install

>Fix:

	No patches...  For now, I've just put a "-" in front of the
	${RMDIR} so that if it fails the entire "make install"
	doesn't bomb out.

	A more correct fix would be to change siag so that it installs
	its documentation directly into ${PREFIX}/share/doc.
