Yup, I've done similar things in other packages too.

What is --short-circuit, and why isn't the above evidence that *it* is broken?
Those subdirectory makefiles shouldn't be needed anymore after the
%install step.

I do not like that solution because it fails --- silently --- if
upstream modifies the set of files they distribute in such a way
that my %doc wildcards are wrong.  In this example, consider what
happens if upstream decides to start using .png files for their
illustrations.
