Since darcs_print.ps ultimately depends on the preproc executable, and
since that binary is (presumably) not included in the tarball, when
that gets rebuilt the dependencies of darcs_print.ps are modified and
make is forced to rebuild them.

That might not be the exact reason that the docs get rebuilt, but to
verify the problem, just unpack the tarball, configure, and make
darcs_print.ps... it goes through and builds everything.

David, let me know if you can solve this in short order, otherwise
I'll dig into it.

peace,
