The above is indeed generated by automake, but it is perfectly correct.
We don't want to install anything in $(docdir) it that expands to the
empty string; that holds even if $(DESTDIR) is non-empty.  So a
'test -z "$(DESTDIR)$(docdir)"' would be incorrect.

Ah, so I see. I thought it was checking if the directory or file existed already.

Thanks for your patience ;-)
James
