Automake's user docs are nonexistent :-(. This is described in the
GNU Coding Standards. Really it would be nice if we had a separate
document that explained the standard targets to the user. People
could distribute this in their packages.
I wrote a patch to add some installcheck docs to automake.texi.
Thanks for noticing this.
installcheck is still a bit bare. Not many people use it.
