That second part shouldn't be there.  I missed it when the
installation became unnecessary -- removed now (for the next build).

They should be part of the .tgz.  But -- these tgzs are exactly what
you get from the installers.  They just contain the pre-packaged

Specifically, it's built by the same nightly build process.

The documentation files are not the problem.  Just run the recent
installer and it should be fine.
