This is a good, but not conclusive, argument against doing name
transformations for the documentation: we want the documentation tarball
to be build-independent. OTOH, we can reasonably assume that developers
will not use a transformed name to build it.
We should build all documentation using the untransformed name.
This makes the files that go into -doc.tar.gz. The only exception to
this is the info files, which need to be rebuilt if the name changes.
I think we can reasonably distribute zsh.texi as we used to, with
zsh.info(|-<->) in -doc.tar.gz, and then have an extra rule that if
building with a transformed name, then the info files *also* get built
with the transformed name, and it is those info files that get installed.
