    If the cross refs are right with the default targets they are not
    needed.  If they are needed and should be set by packager the files
    are also needed.

An installer may need to override the defaults, for whatever reason, and
that is fine.  That's why we're inventing the config file in the first
place.  However, I don't yet see an argument for *multiple* config files.

    I think that we should specify where those manuals should be,
    relative with the automake/autoconf $prefix, $pkgdatadir and so on.

I don't think we can do this.  Web sites are often maintained on a
completely different system than the rest of the software.  If we
installed them by default in, say, $(datadir)/html, I think it would
just waste a lot of disk space.

Anyway, the actual installation dir seems like a separate issue to me.
How does this relate to the default xref targets, which are spelled out
already in the document? (../manual.html and ../manual/)
