[2.12.2] Doesn't install Gtk devhelp documentation without --enable-gtk-doc since 2.12.2

Hi, since Gtk 2.12.2 the Gtk devhelp documentation isn't installed anymore when --enable-gtk-doc is not given to configure. Before it worked fine. One thing that I noticed is that gtk.devhelp and gtk.devhelp2 are missing from the tarball, maybe that's the cause...
2.12.2 shipped with a gtk-doc build error from a #ifdef in the tarball build procedure that caused over two third of the gtk reference manual files to not be generated into the tarball. I had notified Matthias Clasen about it days ago (I noticed it then while working on getting the new version into Gentoo), and I believe he is in the process of consulting with the gtk-doc guys and once things are figured out a 2.12.3 should happen. Confirming bug
Do you have any details on the wrong #ifdef or maybe a workaround?
The ifdef is not wrong. gtk-doc mishandles it badly, see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-doc-list/2007-November/msg00000.html Unfortunately, no reaction from the gtk-doc guys, so at some point I'll have to dig myself.
I have a patch for gtk-doc committed. Please retest and let me know.
Thanks, looks ok now.
