You need to install gnustep-base before you build the documentation, because 
the documentation is built using gnustep-base.

However, you can install wherever you like ... if your build environment 
doesn't permit installation to the final destination, you can first install to 
an alternative location and use the GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE environment variable to 
point to a custom copy of the normal GNUstep.conf file (overriding the one 
provided by gnustep-make) which describes the location you actually installed 
to.

Alternatively you could just copy the DTDs to a subdirectory named 'DTDs' and 
hack GNUstep.conf to point to the parent directory as the LIBRARY directory.
