 I think if make check detects xsltproc, it should build and install the
 documentation comments.

 The benefit of this check is that it catches bugs where we accidentally
 remove a function that we have documented or
 we change the signature of a function we have documented without updating
 the documentation.

 Also right now, since the postgis and postgis_topology extensions package
 in the postgresql help, they will fail installation if the documentation
 and the function signatures do not agree.  I think its a good thing as it
 insures our documentation is always consistent with what we have coded.
