I aggree with Ulrich in this case. This is just a suggestion for a default src_install funcion,
nothing that should cover every possible case. So if you have some special DOC that does not work
with the default install, you can still do it the normal way. So my suggestion for a default
src_install:

default_src_install() {
        if [ -f Makefile -o -f GNUmakefile -o -f makefile ]; then
                if emake DESTDIR="${D} install || einstall ; then
                        die "install failed"
                else
                        if [[ -n ${DOCS} ]]; then
                                dodoc ${DOCS} || die "dodoc failed"
                        fi
                fi
        fi
}

Any more comments? Good? Bad? Interested?
