There's a flaw in the makefiles that makes the curl.1 not get rebuilt as it
should. It can be seen with this experiment:

$ touch docs/cmdline-opts/max-time.d
$ make

... and docs/curl.1 is not rebuilt! Turns out this is because we don't build
in docs/.

My proposed fix that seems to work appropriately:
