I'd rather these were not inside the tree like that.  There should be an
entirely separate location for them.

In fact, in thinking about it, furter, I believe we should maintain the
Completion/ and Functions/ trees as conceptually read-only at "make all"
time.   Any files like _run_help and run-help that need to be generated
from a .in file should be processed by "make install" (install.fns rule)
directly into the $(sitefndir) target, and should never appear in the
Zsh build tree.

Taking that as step further, I'm beginning to think the helpfiles should
also be generated by "make install" rather than being written to a tree
underneath Doc/.
