Bugs in Documentation Makefile.

[Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi ira uka de>]

Hi,

There are two bugs in Makefile.am for the docs, as for example in
glib/docs/reference/gobject/Makefile.am, that prevents make dist from working.

The first one is that make does not know how to make the gobject.types file
(in general it is $(DOC_MODULE).types), but it is a dependency.

The second is that, if HTML_IMAGES is empty as in gobject, make dist bails.
The fix for that is easy:

         done

the reason I didn't commit this is that this change probably has to go to the
other documentation makefiles as well, but I don't know, whether there are
special tools you use to propagate such changes to all such files.

Bye,
Sebastian
