building 1.8 (was: "make dist" shouldn't create doxygen documentation)

[Chris Lyttle]

Damm tried again on my stable gentoo system and no go :(

Fails in the testing phase with;
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/chris/cvs/gnucash-test'
rm -f make-gnucash-patch.tmp
sed < make-gnucash-patch.in > make-gnucash-patch.tmp \
            -e 's:@-PERL-@:/usr/bin/perl:g'
chmod +x make-gnucash-patch.tmp
mv make-gnucash-patch.tmp make-gnucash-patch
rm -f make-gnucash-potfiles.tmp
sed < make-gnucash-potfiles.in > make-gnucash-potfiles.tmp \
            -e 's:@-PERL-@:/usr/bin/perl:g'

Do you run make distcheck Christian? I'm afraid someone else may have to
roll the tarball to get this out.
